Customer Reviews
Really lovely restaurant with interesting and well executed dishes. The quail was amazing and flavourful. We also had the venison ragu and brill which I forgot to take pics of because was too busy eating 😅 probably a little on the pricey side but was worth it.
Wow we loved this place. Food was unique but simple and done with precision. It was a great example of what I think a lot of London restaurants are trying to achieve but many aren’t hitting the mark on the quality and taste you need to bring. Particularly enjoyed the scallops and the soup. The chocolate mousse dessert was too intense so I would recommend the rhubarb tart they had instead (but may have been seasonal). Servers were friendly and the atmosphere was very charming, we enjoyed sitting in the back and watching the kitchen. I live in east London and took my grandparents and they asked me several times over to repeat the name they liked it so much.
This was our last meal in Hackney before moving further out. We wanted to go for a while but unfortunately we found the food a little underwhelming. I had the duck ragu which was fine but I was expecting more of a wow factor. We also had the sweetbreads, tuna and leek. For the price, I was expecting a lot more. Maybe we caught it on a bad day.
Went there for a mid-week casual birthday dinner and what a great meal we had! Charming service and stunning cooking. After a perfect negroni, we shared the crostino with figs and goats curd and the leeks (of which I could have 2 portions, they were so good). Then on to the agnolotti for the veggie and the pork for the meat eater, both rich in flavour, perfectly cooked and deeply satisfying dishes. Rounded the meal off with the pistachio parfait - definitely looking forward to our next visit already.
