Nestled in Epping, this modern British restaurant has become a topic of discussion, eliciting mixed sentiments from diners. While the ambiance is charming and the staff attentive, the food and service often leave patrons wanting more. Several reviews highlight the average quality of dishes, with a particularly bland steak and limited vegetarian options. Though the venue is aesthetically pleasing, the overall dining experience can be marred by inconsistencies, such as delays in service and a lack of acknowledgment for special occasions. Despite the potential, many guests feel that improvements are necessary before considering a return visit.

I had a lovely experience at the restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was delicious, though it might be a bit on the pricey side. It would have been nice to have some acknowledgment of my partner's birthday, which I had mentioned in the reservation. Aside from that, we had a fantastic evening and will definitely return, especially if they open the cigar lounge soon!

This restaurant is a beautiful spot for a special occasion meal. It is on the pricier side, but definitely worth it. My only critique would be the loud music; however, it did help drown out the sound of a crying baby whose parent seemed oblivious. This isn't really the restaurant's fault. I might consider dining here on a Sunday to avoid larger families, but overall, it was a great experience.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were very friendly. I accidentally left my phone on the table, but the team found it and kept it safe for me to pick up later. I truly appreciated their attention to detail!

I don't know how the place is, how we showed up for my birthday meal and the restaurant for renovations was closed. we even had a booking reminder on the day before. extremely disappointing!

Food was awful. Service poor. Ambience very average. Prices were high. This was champagne money for beer quality experience.
