I booked this for my Partners suprised birthday party and the food, service and atmosphere were incredible!
We were given the back balcony area which was ample space.
I pre-ordered the food and it arrived in the time i asked.
The service was great, honestly the waitress was super attentive.
We were lucky with the weather as whilst it was a teeny bit cold,m it was not raining.
The whole process of looking at the menu, pre-booking the food and guiding guests etc was top notch.
What i will say is, the menus do need to be updated to it is clear the sharing platters are for 4 people only, and, you need pictures of the food, so people know what they are ordering.

Hi Team,
I’m writing to share our disappointing experience at your restaurant yesterday.
While we were initially pleased to be seated outdoors without a reservation on a Thursday evening, our evening took a downturn when it started raining. One of your servers kindly guided us to another table, but shortly after, we were confronted by a lady, possibly the manager, who insisted we vacate the table as it was reserved. Despite our attempts to explain that we had only moved at the direction of your staff, she continued to argue with us instead of offering a solution.
When we asked where we could sit to eat our food, especially given the rain, she had no answer. Eventually, we were assigned another table, but only for 40 minutes, and then asked to leave before that time was even up. By then, our food had gone cold, and our drinks were diluted with rainwater, completely ruining the experience.
It’s important for your staff to know how to handle situations like this. If it rains and you need to move guests indoors, there should be a clear plan in place. Simply because tables are reserved (but still empty) doesn’t mean guests should be left in a limbo. And it’s definitely not the time to argue with customers, further diminishing their experience.
This experience was extremely disappointing. We came expecting a pleasant evening but left feeling disappointed and unwelcome.

A popular spot for drinks near Liverpool Street with pleasant surroundings, especially the decking area in good weather. However, our experience was underwhelming. I ordered the Bee Positive cocktail, which was neither refined nor balanced and arrived rushed after a long wait. The presentation was poor, indicating a lack of care.
Service was disjointed. If you stand at the bar, you might get served quickly, but table orders can be painfully slow. One waitress, in particular, was notably rude, standing silently looking at us until we moved without any courtesy. The team seemed unmotivated overall.
While the location is convenient and attracts a nice crowd, I won't be returning. There are better options nearby.

I cannot share enough of all the goodness at Devonshire Terrace. The amazing atmosphere, the friendly staff, the delicious food, and the fabulous seating arrangements. I am hooked, and will come back over and over.
Terrible food. A little tin of luke warm chips, and their vegan cauliflower bites snack which is £9 was just a tiny little saucer of cauliflower crumbs, they didn't even taste nice and they were tepid. I thought maybe they'd made a mistake and carried across somebody else's old plate - What kind of a place thinks it's okay to serve this? We paid £40 for one drink each and two pieces of absolute rubbish, we felt so foolish. But on a human level - people working in hospitality should take some pride in what they do, especially at this price. This place exists to rip off an after-work crowd, and not a cool one at that. We found a pub very nearby called The Magpie which was a lot better - go there - proper portions, hot food, reasonable prices and a better vibe. This place is tired mass produced "luxury", but has no character, I were fooled I think by the location which has the potential to be nice.
Went for drinks on a busy Saturday.
Cocktails were fine, some thought has been put in to make them seasonal and a nice twist, but overall felt like nothing special.
Food was ok, service was good considering how busy it was but nothing amazing.

Good quality food and service. The place itself is quite big and there's plenty of seating available either inside or outside. The restaurant is well decorated with Christmas decorations. The outside area looked very nice and cosy, there are heaters by the tables and blankets are also provided. I would imagine this is very popular in the evenings.
Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely recommend going here.

Had the best experience with the waiter!! he was so lovely. The entress and desserts were good. We'd be back for drinks and bar staff definitely!. The venue was really nice and was nice to have the blankets out side. All the staff were lovely from the host to bartenders, were really nice
My best friend and I stayed at this hotel and we had the nicest experience. The room was perfect size, the staff were amazing, all receptionist and staff were super friendly, welcoming, fun and lively, extremely accommodating. The location of the hotel is perfect too, a few blocks away from Hyde park, shops and tube station. The area also felt very safe. Would definitely go back and stay again. Thank you!
Prime city location of Devonshire. We joined at lunch hour. The manager had a little attitude problem when they misheard my colleague ask for recommendations on professional drinks (when they actually said refreshments). I confronted the manager on their inappropriate scoffing and body language and she then apologised. The food was pretty good, burger and chips. And location of the restaurant is pretty close to everything else, but tucked within a square of brickworked building so if you want views, this isn't the place, but they certainly made the best of the design and layout
Oh what a beautiful place. Went for pre dinner drinks on a very wet day. But that didn’t matter since the outside is covered. I had a cocktail and a glass of sparkly and fabulous is all I can say. The service was quick and we got our drinks within a few minutes.
A very pretty and clean establishment (very 'Instagrammable', if you are the blogger sort) with a great vibe and a good range of drinks. Food wise if you have allergies or if you don't eat pork, you can't really eat much here, but for drinks and social it's great. Even when it was fairly busy, we were able to get service quite quickly. The bathroom was lovely and clean too, and stalls were stocked with toilet roll.
Attended for a birthday , my friend had booked an area. Pitchers and drinks were lovely they have two menus or order from bar. Atmosphere is nicely decorated with lamps &plants. Food was ok got two platters the farmhouse consisting of seafood and grilled holumi. Other had chips and mini curry burgers. Staff did forget cutlery/plates few times. They looked like they didnt want to be there .
