I took a colleague to lunch to celebrate her birthday and so glad I chose the Fitz's Brasserie. The whole experience from being greeted, to having our coats taken, to being seated, to ordering, to eating and finally to paying (!) was very enjoyable and my friend was delighted and surprised by the birthday 'plate' which was a lovely touch. A big thank you and mention to our server (sorry I didn't take his name) who was friendly, professional, attentive and a total credit to the restaurant. I forgot to mention that the food was delicious as well...

A pleasant late lunch with friends, we chose this restaurant as it seemed to be a relaxing quiet environment in lovely surroundings which it certainly lived up to We were hoping to book the fixed price lunch menu but this seemed very difficult through the one table app so ended up with the a la carte which was fine, generally enjoyed by all

Had a quick lunch with my teen son here. I had the roast beef sandwich, he - the fish and chips, and we each had a berry smoothie. Spacious, clean, and lovely setting with some vintage fixtures. Food was fresh, well-prepared, tasty; service - courteous and timely. Happy to go back and explore the menu further.
