Great food and excellent service. I’d definitely be visiting again. The location was perfect for travelling by train as it’s close to Paddington train station.

I selected to book a table, not a table exclusively for dinning. when I arrived to the location there were only tables reserved for dinning even though I was never given the option to select drinks/dinning. therefore I had to find somewhere to sit in the bar area.

Service was really really slow... When are mains did finally come out some of us only had a protein and nothing else, so we should have been told at the time of order that are mains did not come with anything else, so some of us only had ribs for instance and no chips... we tried ordering chips but by the time they came out we had finished our food. Very poor customer service .. no apologies or anything, so no service charge was paid on a £240 bill

Staff all lovely and accomodating. Fod excellent and good choice- well presented. Noise levels were very high and deafening on going to toilet through bar area. Flashing christmas lights not very restful, but otherwise, ambience good.

Awful service despite an empty restaurant - surly staff and a dreadfully cooked breakfast - I mean how hard is toast and scrambled egg ..!

Poor service. Some tables were being served for drinks whilst others had to get up and go to the bar? No system. Also reserved a table and requested to be seated outside (if possible). Turns out they don’t even look at these bookings....

As it was during the week, the clientele seemed mainly corporate. It was quite busy and a lively buzz. Good decor. However, restaurant service was a bit slow and very slow for getting the bill for some reason. Will try it again to see if that's the 'norm' or not.

Waitress was surprisingly unaware, for example that we might like cold milk with tea and the scrambled egg was overcooked. But it's a great place and we enjoyed it

Real shortage of staff. Food was absolutely fine but, for a busy Friday lunchtime, there were far too few staff. There was no FoH greeting, serving staff were running around everywhere but still waited 10mins for first drink, 25mins to order. Won't really be bothering again, much as the location's actually quite pleasant.

The food was good, the ambience pleasant and the service friendly. We had the vegetarian risotto and the steak and both of us enjoyed our meals.

Food and service were very good. Main concern was when my colleague's coffee was served up containing the un-opened neck of a bottle of water (jagged glass and bottle lid intact). The coffee was replaced after it was brought to the waitress' attention but I was surprised that the bill was not reduced to reflect this shocking slip up - it could have been so dangerous.

Great food and good value. A lively atmosphere near the canal with a lot of choice on the menu and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit

Generally excellent location for a quiet business breakfast. Good food, not too fussy and too expensive. Only downside was the waitress wasn't very enthusiastic - but I probably wouldn't be if I started work at 7am...

Food and atmosphere were both very good and the quality of the service was also above average. Value for money was considered good and we would return.

We arrived early and while we were showed to table we were ignored, even after the time we had booked. Table was at the rear of the restaurant which has some light but not as mice as overlooking the canal. Food fine. nothing special, like the staff. I only go because it's handy. Wouldn't go out of my way,

The food and the service were excellent. However it was a bit too noisy. The food was reasonably priced but the drinks were quite expensive.

Great food with good service and nice decor and setting. Background music a bit loud for table conversation without talking loud which was a shame with our guest, also tables bit close together where we were sat so people had to keep squeezing by us when arriving or leaving, including the waiting staff as they brought out other table's food. Would go again though, but choose different seating.

Service was ok. I asked to move my table (out of direct sunlight) and the waiter seemed to be a little unhappy. I think it may have been because the table I moved to was in another waitresses area of the restaurant.

A decent and reasonably priced breakfast in a convient location. The food was rather slow coming out, particularly as it was very empty, with only 3 other tables occupied. That said, I would return and recommend.

The food was of a good standard, however the waitress brought two of our orders and declared " sorry I ordered the wrong meal, is this ok? " My colleagues were somewhat bemused by this and accepted the wrong order, but we have since realized that were were charged the more expensive price of dishes we did not order.

Today was a cold winter day and there was a problem with the restaurant's heating so we were not comfortable. Starters, tuna tartare and fried calamari, were very good. Mains good. Nice ambience.

Food good, service average, very loud environment with too many tables it seem squeezed in to one area. Still pretty good, have been a few times and will go again.

It was okay but nothing special. The service was good and the food nice enough but £4 for a few green beans on the side is completely over the top.

Good location. It’s a large restaurant and wasn’t busy at all today, and it got quite cold. We were a group of 7 and on arrival we were initially shown a table right at the back with clearly back up chairs like function room chairs, not the smart comfortable leather ones at the other tables. So we said we didn’t want to sit there and were given another table. The food was pretty good but the service was a bit patchy ie slow. Had to interrupt staff chatting to get attention. For a quiet restaurant the service could easily be been better.

Reliably good food and service and the noise level at tables is surprisingly manageable considering how crowded the bar area can be. Reasonable prices including wines.

Breakfast was fine (for my party of 6) however it was a bit cold - could do with the food being hotter on the plates.
