Haven’t tried the food, but me and my boyfriend come here whenever we’re at Broadway Market for an evening drink and a nice view of the canal. Staff are always friendly and the drinks on offer are delicious. Also not too loud inside so perfect after a long day to chill and chat. We’ll keep coming back!

Good food and friendly staff! I recommend the salmon, served with roasted fennel and potatoes – delicious and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!
Went with a friend who was craving brunch on a Tuesday and this was one of the few places that had it after 12pm. The place was empty, but staff was super friendly without overwhelming us or forgetting about us. Food was delish - best hollandaise sauce - and so were the drinks. We ended up staying for a second drink instead of going to another bar as the vibe was great. I've been during the weekend as well and it is definitely busier and slightly less friendly. But hey, it's a tourist area full of people, it would be hard to keep the same chilled vibe. With that being said, I'm coming back for sure.
