Food, service and a excellent place to sit and relax while eating. Ice cream and Earl Grey tea was very nice. Staff were polite and not pushy. Food and drink prices were fair and reasonable. Highly recommended 👍

Oct 24- we passed by and stopped for light dinner of small plates. Overall it is not inexpensive and you get very small plates! We had 3 between two but ordered another side of fries. Condiments have to be requested and drinks are good but expensive. Good vibes, friendly staff and sassy location. We went on a Friday before theatre and NT. 4 drinks, 4 small plates was £45 pp The crab fritters were more like dough balls so disappointed; the squid was tasty; the monkfish was tiny but delicious and the best with a dip to die for! (may benefit from pitta too).

I love this place I went yesterday with my family, a 2 and 3 year old babies and my brother who is visiting from Mexico. We had a fish and Chips and was gorgeous, my brother had a Goats cheese pizza and my husband had the beef burger. Everyone loved their food The servers were very patient with us and kind when dealing with the kids They offered us the kids menu and I am glad they had milk as an options, my kids don’t eat sugar! Everyone was satisfied with the big portions and the taste! I hope this place get more good reviews because they deserve better! As a business owner myself I want to…

Exceptional presentation of their products, and excellent customer service from every member of the staff. I've had dinner here several times for the past 5 years, and I'm surprised about the constant improvement of this place!

Lovely spot by the river and lots happening around. Friendly service (I just like to be offered more water or bring a jug of water to table thanks) food was delicious. 2hr seating for bookings
