We loved our afternoon tea! We’re both a little fussy and the staff always cater for our needs (swapping sandwiches to ones we prefer with no issues). The new layout is lovely, my only concern is the tables are not as spacious as they were previously and the gap between tables isn’t too big, it would be nice to have a little more room as previously (before renovations) I believe the table size and space around was one of the best things about the gallery. We will always re visit though as it is still such a good experience.

Very friendly welcome and staff. Was dining on my own so was lovely to sit at the bar and enjoy the atmosphere and chat to the lovely bar lady. Fish pie and the side of brocolli were absolutely delicious. I look forward to going back sometime soon.

Our somewhat large group of breast cancer survivors just met here for brunch, first time. The food was excellent with a range of selections from fresh salads to calamari. The eggs Benedict was fluffy and delicious and the parmigiana exceptional. The atmosphere was superb with a lovely DJ playing some real good vibes. The waitstaff were very accommodating. They left us alone to talk amongst ourselves but were also attentive and swift with our orders. I hope it's not appropriate of me to say -- they were all very attractive too! Great restaurant in Paddington, especially if you like to take a walk by the canal after brunch.

This is very much a fast food outlet and not a 'Greek experience'. That said, the staff on hand were pleasant and attentive and the food was fresh and tasty. Two of us ate as much as we could manage for less than £30 with beer.
