Having g booked the Cellars, apon arrival they were not open so we were ushered upstairs to what more resembled an extended off licence with small tables. Not quite the dining experience we were looking forward to, and given there was not one other customer, we decided to leave and eat somewhere more convivial.

It was our first visit. We got the sense that the venue is bouncing back succesfully from the impact of the pandemic.

I met a friend one night after work. We used to go here all the time when we worked just around the corner. Having not been for so many years, we were looking forward to a bit of nostalgia but were bitterly disappointed from start to finish. It took at least 15 minutes to get anyone's attention just to order a drink. We ordered a side of the Artisan Bread and butter for the table which turned out to be lightly toasted sliced bread, with no explanation. After waiting another 5 minutes with no luck to get someone's attention, I went up to our waiter to ask why we had toast rather than the advertised bread. I was then told they had ran out of the Artisan Bread. When I asked if we could just have normal bread (rather than toasted), I was told the toast on our table was the last they had! The main course, it has to be said was delicious! Bangers and mash - a classic! Moving on to dessert! We shared a Treacle Tart with Clotted Cream. The amount of cream that was presented was a joke! Barely a teaspoon full. My friend asked about the portion of cream and asked if we could have a little more. He went to investigate. He came back about 10 minutes later with 2 bowls of coconut ice cream!! We then learnt that the cream already served was just double cream and not the advertised Dorset Clotted Cream as they had run out of that... and now had run out of the standard double cream!! It seemed that the kitchen just wasn't updating their waiters of what was being served or what was available to order. They also seemed way under staffed so sadly, on this occasion, I have to give a negative review. I will still go back to our other favourite Davy's Wine Bars, namely The Mug House in London Bridge, Davy's at St James and The Crusting Pipe in Covent Garden. We've not been put off completely :-)

We went on a week day for lunch, so a quiet time which was just what we wanted. It was perfect for us. The staff stand out - they are discreet, polite, cheerful and super efficient. Great place.

When entering the cellar by Davy’s wine, it’s not immediately clear where the restaurant is. It was also incredibly busy as there is a wine bar downstairs too. Once shown to the dining area, the service was pretty good. Food was well priced for the Holborn area, and arrived piping hot. Overall an inexpensive dining experience.

First off the name of this venue is not as advertised. It is Davy's. It made the venue hard to locate. Service was slow and overall the food ok but not out of this world. A little disappointing!
