Went here for bottomless brunch a few weeks ago. The food was pretty good (vegan brunch and avocado on toast) and we liked that there was a pudding (the brownie was delicious!). Overall, it was quite pricey (especially as a service charge is automatically added on). The service was a bit slow to start with but got quicker. We arrived a bit late but when our table was needed, we were able to move to the bar and carry on with our bottomless bellinis so they let us make the most of the 90 mins which we appreciated. Also Id travelled down to London for the day and my phone had nearly died when we

Very pretty in terms of decor with nice staff. However, the food was very basic and therefore, overpriced for what it is. Perhaps better for a bottomless brunch as opposed to a brunch place. The staff also got a little confused but were very friendly and polite. I have trouble reconciling the popularity of the venue with the food so I assume it is the actual setting or, perhaps, other courses.

Lovely restaurant, really yummy (gluten free!!) food - my gluten free bread was cooked in a separate toaster so safe for coeliacs like myself which was a relief (lots of experiences where places have gf but cross contamination is an issue. The bottomless brunch truly was bottomless - bringing out the next drink before we even finished our last one! Overall lovely experience, would definitely recommend and the food choices were great for coeliac, veggie or vegan!
