Of course, my friend who took me warned me not to be fooled as in their other locations the exact same seemingly random furniture can be found in the exact same place. I think Britain is a little late to the brunch party and looking at the menu it's clear that this place has gone about it the American way. There was cinnamon French toast and pancakes for example which you'll usually struggle to find on this side of the pond. I had the lounge eggs which is essentially eggs Benedict but with British bacon. It was delicious and the coffee I had with it was also really nice. Service was prompt and friendly without being overbearing, and on a boiling hot day the place was cool and comfortable. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking or brunch in the area. I'm told they're also a really good bar at night

It was a great way to spend a sunny day in Southampton. The crowd is diverse and super cool, there were families out on the hillside enjoying the sun and the marina view, there were a bunch of younger people enjoying the good weather as well. I hope I'm back soon :0)

We walk up to the host stand and are immediately told it's reservation only. "Great! I have a reservation." "Oh sorry! Head upstairs and they will take care of you." We go up a gorgeous staircase and find ourselves just standing there for a while. Someone finally comes over, confirming we have a reservation and we sit. Our server comes right away, drops two empty glasses (for water) and menus and immediately asks if we are ready. Nope, you just gave me the menu right now, I am not ready. She leaves and never comes back. She forgot about us. She apologized but it never got better. It was half an hour before we got our pints. Our appetizer came 15 min after this and our food came in another 30 min. It took an hour and 15 minutes to get a burger and chicken. Thankfully, the food was good. Oh, and those empty glasses for water, stayed empty until they finally remembered to bring us water, about 1 hour in. And before you ask, yes, I hailed other servers and asked for the water and the status of our meals. They seemed annoyed they had to pick up her slack and maybe kind of took it out on us by doing things for their tables first before ours, which I understand but still kind of sucks. Would I come back? Absolutely not. However, it's so pretty and such a cool building and the beers and food were good so I do recommend checking it out.

It really does shine out from a lot of other places as the food is presented with so much flair and creativity, There's a really varied and ambitious menu on offer and all of it looks like it works.

Great wine list to and the staff are always happy to pair a decent wine with your dish.

A recent lunch there from the set menu revealed a sure hand in the kitchen, though front of house was a bit scatty. I had pan fried hake, with Indian spiced potatoes, spinach, and cockles. The superb creamy sauce had just a hint of curry flavour, and the whole thing worked wonderfully. My partner had roast neck fillet of lamb, with saute potatoes, pancetta, and Calvero Nero. This was a bit salty, and the lamb a bit chewy (although flavour was good). Puds were better still. I had cinnamon macaroon, maple roasted banana, pistachios, and chocolate mousse. It was a sort of deconstructed banoffee pie, and a marvel especially the creamy mousse. My other half had the vanilla poached Cox apple, lavender marshmallow, and blackberries. The marshmallow was stupendously tasty and soft. The set menu was 2 courses for £17.95, three for £21.95. A glass of house wine was an extra three quid. So, great tastes, imagination, and good value. Wait for an exhibition at the gallery that catches your fancy, and go.

Today, we sat in our usual spot but the place was very busy. Half way through our meal, the most rude and unpleasant man (Jack) approached the table and in a loud voice for the benefit of the whole restaurant, said that we had not booked and were siting in the wrong place. The table was quite some way apart from the restaurant, the other side of the enterance area, and next to the bar. That area was not clear at all to be a part of the restaurant opposite. We had been told to order at the bar and it in that area. Instead of politely telling us we had sat in a satellite area of the restaurant to eat our carvery and being offering help to move. He approached in an aggressive manner and told us, we were not allowed to sit there and had 15 minutes to finish our food and leave. No explanation, no offer to help us relocate. When I politely explained that we always sat there and did not know it was part of the restaurant, and were half way through our meals, he became even more aggressive and told us, we had 15 minutes or he would be calling the police to have both myself and my 5 year old child " forcibly removed from the restaurant" My son was very scared and did not want the rest of his dinner, so we left. Imagine threatening a small child that he would be forcibly removed if he took more than 15 minutes to eat his dinner.... We were so shocked. Advertised as family friendly but I believe Jack should be nowhere near small children.

I wasn't expecting too much as it is situated within the service station and usually service station amenities are not that great. I was greeted on arrival by one of the managers there who showed me and my family to a table. We had a booth seating area which was very comfortable and spacious. Our drinks were brought over promptly and the menu has a wide range of dishes to cater for all tastes. They even had a specials board which had a starter, main and dessert listed. I opted for one of the burgers and my wife had steak and chips. The two children were very pleased as the menu had burgers for them too. Reasonably priced - only £56 for the four of us with drinks and a dessert. We will be visiting the restaurant again in the near future.
