    We dined on the itison deal and have to say the food was very good with a great choice through meats, fish and veggie options. Beautifully presented and good sized portions with a glass of champagne each. Service by Luke and his colleague?? was friendly, informative and considerate of between course gaps. This was not our first visit and it definitely will not be our last. Well worth a try if you’re looking for a quality experience without the price tag. Took a point off ambience as the restaurant was a little cold. All said, we were delighted with our Sunday afternoon.

    Lunch was absolutely beautiful and was most enjoyed by both parties who opted for the cod with mussels. Will definitely be back.

    Third trip to VoB for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. The food was excellent, as was your server India. Very helpful with recommendations and knew the menu well. We were at our table for quite a while and didn’t get the chance thank India for her faultless customer service. If you haven’t been already, give it a try!!

    1st class cocktails and excellent courses but, unfortunately, tempered by a loud screaming child. I'll never understand a proper cocktail bar as this is, welcoming families with buggies and loud children. It's never made sense to me. Nonetheless we'll always get here to sample the cocktails. They're 2nd to none.
