Great lunch on the roof. Had to sit inside as the weather was inclement. Food was great (Shrimps to start and a pork belly sandwich main). Service was professional, efficient and cheery. Would definitely recommend if in the area.

Lovely space, nice terrace but not much view. A lot of wasps! Food was expensive and dull and worse yet, very little on the plate. Chocolate mousse was grainy and old with a damp (meant to be but not) florentine. Coffee ok but really, don’t waste your money.
