Great place for brunch/lunch/dinner. Good location, close enough to the the museums but a little further away from the hustle and bustle of those restaurants nearer to the museums. A nice little find, will be back!

Honestly, a little surprised given how often I go to Chucs across London. Service was so bad I almost wanted to tell them to take off the gratuity. Our waiter kept forgetting our orders - my tea, then our bread basket, and we didn’t even get our final cappuccino (which wasn’t even on the bill so he absolutely forgot). Based on this last experience I’ll probably never go back again. Sometimes I just want to get the food I order when I go out to eat.
