    Very loud. Had to shout at each other. Food was expensive for small dishes. Scampi was the best out of our dishes. Wasn’t fussed on the others. £15 for 5 prawns

    Food was good. Server was quite abrupt. Best food: warm focaccia, loaded fries, arancini, prawns. Crab didn’t really taste like crab. Very good espresso martinis. Not a fan of communal toilets. We were on the first floor and didn’t find it as loud as other reviews mention.

    Amazing food and outstanding drinks. The cocktails especially the spicy margaritas are to die for. The staff however are quite rude. Upon my arrival I spoke with one man who kept telling me he was not the host so he cannot speak with me. This was quite off putting as I was meeting a friend who had already checked in with said host.. he was most unhelpful dismissive and to be honest very rude! Other than that I had a fab night

    Excellent food and drink at drury buildings, there always is. Lovely atmosphere too. Only issue the service, it was a bit disjointed. The wait time for our food was fine, but we had to ask again for the last two dishes to be brought out. For dessert, we were waiting a long time and again had to remind the waiter for our last dessert. In general we went for long periods without our waiter coming to check if we needed anything, we probably would have ordered more drinks if we had been attended to more often. Drinks came quickly enough once ordered. The service was friendly however and any issues were minor, especially when compared to the good quality of the food and drink. The arancini and truffle mayonnaise was particularly nice.

    Nice food, good service but we had thought we booked indoor seating and we where put sitting in the back area with the outdoor heaters. It was freezing, would have stayed longer for more drinks if not so cold.
