The service was friendly if a little slow, drinks ok price wise. Food was typically American style but not very good. I won’t be going back.

Good place pre-theatre, but the choice of happy hour cocktails is really limited and we ended up getting a couple of bottles of wine! Don't go there thinking they have loads of choice! Also, I had mentioned it was my friend's 50th birthday but there was no mention of it during the period of time we were there.

The staff were nice as well as ambience. Visited to celebrate a friend completing the marathon. Found that the food menu was very basic and a bit boring. If we were not tired we would have left. Apart from the food menu, everything went well.

Great value meal before the theatre . We informed the staff we were going to a show and they turned a good meal around in time. It was a limited menu which you would expect but the food was still adequate and wholesome.

Victor our waiter was very good looking in on us on a regular basis. The food was good and plentiful and just what we needed prior to watching our show at Drury Lane which was an easy 10 min stroll away. All in all very good
