Good, a bit sweet. Messy to eat. 3/5 Truffle fries - good but average 4/5 Polenta - very tasty, a must. 3/5 Duck and waffle - I expected this to be bigger but it was good. I normally prefer chicken but the duck wasn't bad. All the food was decent and the staff were all nice. It's unfortunate that the walk to the restaurant passes by the smelly toilets. Also there was only one lift working that day so it took a little time to get up/down.

I've been looking forward to visiting Duck & Waffle for quite some time. The views are incredible,…read morethe space itself is striking, and on paper it promises that perfect London mix of skyline, late-night energy, and elevated comfort food. Unfortunately, our experience was soured before it even had a chance to begin. My girlfriend and I walked in excited, completely amicable, simply hoping to head upstairs for a bite and drinks. We were greeted by the doorman with an immediate, dismissive "Are you good?" -- not in a welcoming or helpful tone, but in a way that felt skeptical and unnecessarily confrontational. There was no warmth, no "welcome in," no attempt at hospitality. It immediately set an uncomfortable tone. He then proceeded to call upstairs as though he were doing us some sort of favor just by allowing us to go up. The entire interaction felt transactional and judgmental rather than gracious. First impressions matter, especially at a place that positions itself as a premium dining destination. Hospitality begins at the door, not at the table. When we finally made it upstairs, the room was filled with visibly drunk, rowdy groups -- which only made the earlier attitude feel even more misplaced. If that environment is acceptable (and profitable), then two polite guests looking for drinks and food shouldn't be met with suspicion at the entrance. By that point, the damage was done. The initial interaction had already rubbed us the wrong way, and the energy upstairs didn't help. We ultimately decided to leave before even sitting at our table. That's how strongly the first impression impacted us. It's difficult to justify staying somewhere when you don't feel genuinely welcomed from the outset. Duck & Waffle has the potential to be memorable for all the right reasons. But someone representing the brand at the very front needs to understand that hospitality isn't optional -- it's foundational. A simple, respectful welcome would have changed everything. I hope management takes this seriously, because no guest should feel judged or dismissed before they even step inside.

The above is an excerpt from their menu and I can attest that they live up to all of it: Let me start with a description of the restaurant: Season is located on Stroud Green Road just a short walk from Finsbury Park Station...yes, it's not a fancy neighbourhood and indeed, Season kind of stands out in its well-thought-through interior. In fact, I kind of fell in love with what the folks here have accomplished: they have really paid attention to details and thus make the dining experience a true joy for all senses! (I especially liked the overall simplicity of this place, such as using packaging paper as table "cloth" and fixing it to the table with metal clips!) From the stylish, yet very cozy interior, to the food...may I quote from the menu again: "Generally our focus is British, French and Italian but our inspiration very often comes from further afield." And indeed, the inspiration for my dish came from further away, as I enjoyed a Roast Pumpkin Curry with Spinach, Peas and Basmati Rice. The Indian touch to this dish was undeniable and I very much liked the slight tingling in my mouth after every bite...which I then extinguished with a sip from the excellent house red... Oh, before I forget to mention it: in true fine-dining manner, as amuse-bouche I was offered a couple of spicy-cheesy Parmesan Crisps. These were followed by a couple of thick slices of dense, moist and wholesome bread. (I assume the bread was home-made as it looks just like the bread that I make at home and it tasted equally well!) Also, immediately after sitting down, I received a bottle of tap water; this gesture made me extra happy, as I hate having to ask for it! Now, the waiting tandem also deserves a special mention: they were very attentive and one of them (presumably the owner?) went around the dining room to have a little chit-chat with the guests. As this place has opened rather recently, there were quite a few guests, who'd been here for the first time and simply wanted to hear more about their philosophy. Somehow he didn't chat with me that long though, but I guess since I was writing my journal, he simply didn't want to disturb me. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my dining-experience at Season Kitchen and if I had to sum it all up in one sentence, I'd say: Fine dining yet without the usual dent to your checking account!

A plate of two pieces of fantastic soda bread with soft butter comes gratis, which is a wonderful touch. I ordered the almond gazpacho and the artichoke, pickled walnut and goat's curd. The gazpacho is wonderful if you like almonds as much as me: smooth consistency but also slightly gritty with a mouthful of almond essence in each spoonful. Yum! The artichoke dish is light, with the creamy curd blending well with the greens. Dishes were promptly removed when I finished and the check came quickly when I asked for it. The dishes are expensive at about £7 each but I was very pleased with my experience.

The restaurant is located in a residential area in Zone 2. Made a reservation and my seat was ready upon arrival. The restaurant seems to be a mix of communal tables along with a kitchen counter. The view from the kitchen counter was stunning. The daily menu is written on the blackboard and appears to change dialy. Started off with the leeks small plate and it was excellent. The leeks were soft, flavorful and topped with some crispy and crunchy accoutrements. Moved on to the guinea fowl for the main and it was absolutely world class. The meat was soft and tender and the crispy skin was excellent. This was served with a bed of mashed potatoes along with some vegetables. Ended off the meal with the chocolate ganache which featured cherries with a ton of rum. Portion was gigantic and the presentation was excellent! Staff were super nice and cordial throughout the evening service.

You need to book via Twitter, though they often has space for walk-ins. The wine list is fabulous and staff so knowledgable - just ask for a recommendation and you won't be disappointed. The menu changes up to the minute according to what ingredients were fresh that day. As a vegetarian, I was worried there wouldn't be many options but it wasn't a problem. The tomatoes were some of the most flavorful I've ever had. The ambiance is almost like an impromptu dinner party at a friend's house - charmingly imperfect, casual but lovely. I will certainly be back!
