Booking the upstairs for a Baby shower afternoon was the best idea! Reasonable to hire, great communication, great deal re drinks!. The loveliest of staff especially Alfie!! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue as we could bring our own food and having a paying bar on site and barman Alfie, we were sorted!!! Nothing was too much trouble would definitely have a function here again. The only down side was the toilets !!! as people from downstairs had to come up to use the toilets!

Restaurant is beautiful. Menu has a lot of interesting and appealing choices. However, for me the experience was underwhelming.
Service is excruciatingly slow. The restaurant was 1/3 full. It took 30 minutes from ordering to get the food. Cappuccino took 15 minutes to arrive. And the cappuccino was half foam. I had to ask for the bill twice.
Had the steak and eggs. Steak lacked flavour and the egg was quite rubbery. Food presentation is beautiful. The fries were excellent. Very crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
The toilet in the accessible toilet on the ground floor didn’t flush very well - handle was broken.

I seldom write down the comments, but I love this cafe! I went there today in a very crowded period, but the staffs are still nice. English is my second language, I am thankful for their patience. I met four staffs today, all of them are warm and kind, and I like their smiles. I would like to visit here again~ Before I went there, I was a bit worried about the price. After I went inside, everything was worthy💕thank you for making my day, it’s my birthday trip.

It was a little noisy in there due to music playing on the loud side. People then have to raise their voices to be heard. It was difficult to hear my partner or the waitress. We have softer voices. I had wanted to try vegetarian but unfortunately the waitress didn’t catch the order. What came wasn’t, but I didn’t say anything, as I’m not a vegetarian and the food was fine. Nicely seasoned. But not a meal I’d usually order.
Softer Background music would improve the situation. It was our first time. We will try again sometime and bring friends. There are plenty of different eating areas in the city. We tried this one as the reviews were good. It deserves a second visit.
