Came here for dinner with family and left with mixed feelings…read more The experience started off a bit rough. We were told to wait in the lobby for a table, but there weren't enough seats available, so several of us ended up standing around awkwardly. Once seated, the restaurant was extremely loud. It made conversation difficult, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it as a date-night spot unless you're comfortable raising your voice just to hear each other. The lighting was also surprisingly dim--I could barely read the menu without using my phone light. Unfortunately, our seating situation didn't help either. We were placed next to a large family party with two children running around and playing on the bench seating. They repeatedly kicked my dad by accident, and after several incidents I finally had to ask them to stop myself. What was frustrating was that the parents never seemed to intervene. As for the food, there were definitely some highlights. The beef tartare was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and the egg on top tied everything together nicely. They served it with four slices of bread, though I personally think chips or crostini would have complemented it better. The duck salad, on the other hand, wasn't for me. It had a strange sweet-and-savory fusion flavor that reminded me of fruit-flavored duck jerky mixed into a salad. For the mains, the Shepherd's Pie was decent. The flavors were good, though nothing particularly memorable, but the presentation was impressive. The standout dish of the night was the teriyaki salmon. It was cooked perfectly, moist, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the scallop and scampi linguine. The sauce was enjoyable, but the pasta itself didn't seem freshly made and lacked the al dente texture I was expecting. Overall, the food ranged from good to very good, especially the salmon and beef tartare, but the noisy atmosphere, poor lighting, and seating experience took away from what could have been a much more enjoyable meal.

We ordered the Royal Eggs with smoked salmon (similar to Eggs Benedict) and an English Breakfast. Everything was delicious, and the egg quality was excellent. I also had a lychee matcha -- the matcha itself was great quality, just a bit too sweet for my taste (I'd ask for less sweetness next time). My husband ordered a coffee pot with milk, which was a very cool experience and great coffee quality too. Our server, a young woman named Tasha, was wonderful -- super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a great breakfast in the heart of London, not far from Big Ben!

This place doesn't technically have it, but their braised beef & ale shortcrust pie comes very close, and it's one of their specialties. Creamed potato, greens, rich gravy... comfort food done right. £19.50 and honestly worth it, especially on a cold, wet day. The ambiance really welcomed me in: warm, cozy interior with the fireplace going and a charming vintage Christmas aesthetic. Add in friendly people and genuinely warm service. Exactly the kind of pub you hope to stumble into on a rainy London morning. I'm hyped.

All the menu items have film-related names, there are Cagney and Lacey film posters everywhere, and the menu itself is essentially Anglified American diner. I don't recommend going there for fine dining. But go there for a cup of tea. Chances are (at the weekends at least) it'll be very quiet, and atmospheric in a weird way. Like E Pellici in Bethnal Green, it's one of those odd little places that just, for some reason you can't quite explain, smells authentic - however strangely so.
