Pavel SOctober 13, 2013Cool and calm place. Fresh food with a lot of green vgtbls. Huge portions. Friendly stuff. And they have 4square promotions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
AthJuly 20, 2016The Tib Str garden is ok but you have to walk to the bar to order and carry your own drinks outside. Not impressed w/ the coffee, especially cuz it's surrounded by so many great coffee places.
Gemma IllidgeJuly 20, 2010Order the 15 minute menu, seriously, if it doesnt arrive within 15 minutes you get it for free! They just gave me two meals for free and they were just 2 minutes late! Winner! Good food, friendly staf
Jenn MJune 5, 2011Got free cheesecake on my birthday, what a lovely gesture :) They also sell Pear Rekorderlig. Love this place.
Greg CzerkiesJuly 10, 2011Not happy. The 'Huge breakfast' is literally a standard breakfast with an extra egg. Misleading menu: 'double bacon'= 2 slices, 'tomatoes'= 2 halves, 'mushrooms'= 1 mushroom. Left hungry& tenner short
If you need to know if a dish contains say, garlic, then ask the staff are really knowledgeable.
Ugo BJuly 2, 2014Slowest service in the world. The bar was almost empty and it took them ages to serve us drinks and cocktails. The funny thing is that they looked so busy and stressed.
Lisa GillinghamFebruary 19, 2010Wouldn't expect to find it here, but a nice little place. Good nachos.
The food is great but the service is terrible. Consistently terrible. Every time you think "it can't be as bad as last time" but it always is. Avoid.
Food is always acceptable. Staff attitude not so much.
