Extremely busy place so be prepared to wait a bit. Our coffees and brunch took a bit of time, they seemed rushed off their feet.

The sausage and egg roll is really good, as is the focaccia tartine, which changes daily with different toppings. I would have appreciated some options on the toppings though.

Price wise, quite ok for the location and the quality of the produce is good. Note to servers, I appreciate if you’re busy but when pointed to a table, it would be nice to have tables wiped down for guests. We had to clean our own.
Underwhelming experience if I’m honest. The food was okay, nothing special. My partner had the salmon and mentioned it wasn’t anything to stand out against other restaurants. The fries were fresh and well made, best part of the meal for some reason, every single table had a complementary bread starter irrespective of what they ordered and ours didn’t. Calamari was good but paired with sauce that just didn’t fit.

As usual, what irritates me is when restaurants chuck in an assumed tip and whilst mentioning its discretionary on the bill don’t even ask if we would like to tip. Tips are earned for exemplary service and not matter of fact additions as a give in.Poor ethic and needs changing.

The portions are quite mega which is great if you’re heading there after a healthy gym session! The food lacks a bit of finesse but priced ok and I really appreciate how open they were to substitutions on the Scottish breakfast. Rolls were so huge you could use them as a pillow. Brilliant decor and diner theme. Recommend a visit!
Disappointed. Used to come to this place a few years ago and standards have dropped massively. Went in today and it was quite busy as its new year and didn’t have a great experience. They took 40 mins to serve us, meanwhile people who came in much after us were getting the same dishes we ordered much earlier. Asked two times for a update and it didn’t come.

When the food did come, the rice was hot, the veggies stone cold and the meats like warm. Not an enjoyable experience at all. Service was not great but they are quick to throw in a 10% service charge which should be optional based on service.
