    Overall service was really poor on this occasion, considering I asked for a gluten free menu, at no point were we asked if we had any allergies. There was water on the table (which we were happy with) however at no point were we asked if we wanted a drink. And then when my husband’s Meal came out wrong there was no apology nor did there seem any rush to bring a new Meal. The food itself was good and good value, such a shame service was a let down on this occasion.

    Of an age when remember Maxwell's in Hampstead! Been coming ever since and generally been good. Went a Sat after theatre ... pretty busy. Greating was good and friendly. Service was average at best tho. My daughter and I both had the wagyu burger. Why do restaurants serve fries/chips in a basket! Nicely done burger and good chips .. bit mean on the ketchup/mayo serving tho and bacon was a tad tasteless. Gents toilets were messy.

    Be careful of the gents toilets I’ve literally slipped over more times in that toilet and then I have when I’ve been iceskating I’ve got no idea what covering they’ve put on that floor but it is like ice skating. Be careful.
