Tucked away from the main hustle and bustle, Balls Brothers Austin Friars is famous for its great vibe and warm welcome.

    Food was excellent as was the service once we were seated. Upon arrival there was some confusion regarding the booking as it was claimed that I had not booked a table. A copy of the email from Opentable soon resolved the matter and we were taken to a table. A good lunch, thanks.

    Service was poor, we reserved table for 10 but they did not prepare at all. Waited for 10min for table set up. And another 30min for food to be served. Did not enjoy our meal at all left over half. We wouldn’t recommend

    Sorry to hear about your disappointing experience, it is certainly not the service we pride ourselves with. Please email us on: austinfriars.events@mosaicpubanddining.comto discuss this further with you. Looking forward to your reply. Sales team

    Nice enough but weirdly out of everything we ordered. Group of 10 at 12 noon on a Tuesday. Apparently they only had 2 rib eye steaks available despite us being first in for lunch and only 3 flat irons despite that being special of the day! Service and food fine other than that

    Met friends for dinner. Good location, good food. Was quite loud initially with the after work crowd there initially (arrived 6pm), but once it thinned out, the ambient noise was better and we could talk without having to yell across the table! This was however a minor irritation. Overall very good night with friendly attentive staff

    We arrived to be told that they had no tables despite having booked online via OpenTable. They said we could try their other restaurant in Adams Court, but they would not honour the booking either. Shambolic!

    The food is nice but the kitchen is too slow (especially if it is marketing itself as a place for casual business meals). The place felt more like a Friday pub than something a little more upmarket.

    Visited for a lunch with friends. We had a mixure of main courses, including basic choices such as fish & chips, and ham, egg and chips - all were produced to a very high standard and the service was quick and friendly.

    Balls Bros has opened a very 'un-balls' restaurant in the City. It is contemporary and buzzy, with high ceilings and modern decor. We had a quick steak and chips and the quality was really excellent. Service was great, too!
