Can't really say a bad word about this place; fantastic service (with a smile), lovely decor, great atmosphere and top notch drinks section. I've yet to try the restaurant...

Fiona G.👑July 7, 2016Great service. Food was on the salty side but was flavourful. Complimentary cookies was too yummy. Pop up to the roof garden if you're dining at the restaurant. Roof garden has dining too!

Daren WilliamsJanuary 25, 2018Casual, open setting (upstairs), serving a short menu of creative modern European dishes. Highlights were burrata with blood orange, lamb breast and the brownie was amazing!
Upvote4Downvote- Great environment to chill, meet friends. Try the rooftop at the daytime or sunset it offers beautiful view of The City. It’s busy every evening and is open till 2am on Fridays and Saturdays 👌🏼UpvoteDownvote
Nathalie DumonJuly 13, 2014The Full English breakfast on Sunday is a real treat. Best quality fresh ingredients. Add a mug of tea and enjoy.

Francesca HaincourtMay 26, 2017First floor dining room felt surprisingly airy and calm despite it being a heaving Friday night at the bar downstairs. The whole turbot to share was amazing, all the waiters were friendly & efficient.UpvoteDownvote- Emily-janeJuly 28, 2020Lovely big pub, great all rounder! Good food, especially Sunday roasts! Upstairs restaurant feels more formal, downstairs is great for casual drinks with friends, lovely roof garden!UpvoteDownvote
Eric CDecember 30, 2014Wandered in off the street. Pleasantly surprised by the stout battered fish and chips and the homemade tarter sauce. Great bottled beer selection though it seemed that all draught beer kegs blownUpvoteDownvote
Isa SierraSeptember 21, 2016Always so much fun! The dining is specially good. Really enjoy the Mediterranean twist. The wine is excellent as well, ask the waiters for reccos and they'll choose well!UpvoteDownvote
Kukkii KoppeeMay 14, 2017Good roasts and epic portions. The margarita was a good 'un too. Make a reservation or come early on a Sunday.

Brian StraussNovember 11, 2022A great spot for Thursday’s in particular — large enough for the hordes without feeling too crowded. A relaxed vibe. Great Guinness!UpvoteDownvote

Katya RyabovaOctober 14, 2015I really liked the design of it, and the menu (so short but so good), and the wine list. Service is friendly but excruciatingly absent-minded.UpvoteDownvote
Adam ClewleyJune 13, 2015The rib eye beef to share was excellent. Trust the waiters/waitresses on their wine selection.Upvote1Downvote

Luis Sebastián MartínezAugust 19, 2016Awesome all in one concept. Modern pub, restaurant and B&B. Spending a summer afternoon in the roof is a real treat.UpvoteDownvote- V HFebruary 17, 2015We came here and had a lovely Sunday roast. Would definitely recommend. As a plus, they serve anchovy butter with their bread, yum.UpvoteDownvote
Martin RichardsonJuly 31, 2017An unexpected roof garden, but a sign of the spread of gentrification around Aldgate. No longer a place for a pint and a game of pool.

- KMay 6, 2016Lovely roof terrace - make sure to check that out. Service in bar downstairs was slow but it was a Thursday night. Food in the restaurant was good if a little expensive for a pub.Upvote3Downvote
