   Stirfry was too sweet. Fish and chips had soft batter and soggy chips. Both poor examples

   The flying chicken was an embarrassment. The amount of chicken served was like a side plate, with a bowl of salad and one piece of bread. In my view the chicken didn't amount to a whole breast. Not value for money at all. The dish was poorly executed it's a gimmick.

   Standard has really declined. Service is poor. The brunch I ordered was cold and dry. Will not recommend anymore.

    In all honesty, really disappointing. My wife had the duck noodles and for the first time in our 8 years together, she complained about the food to the manager. Her food tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave, in that some parts of the meal were hot, others cold. The amount of duck with the meal was definitely sub par in portion size and the flavour wasn’t great either. The manager handled the complaint really well, first offering a free dessert and when this was declined, he refunded the whole meal without hesitation. I had the cooked breakfast and it was average at best. The bacon was lovely and crispy but the sausage were overdone and the eggs had partially runny whites. The hash brown also looked like it had seen the fryer a few too many times, although I didn’t actually eat it. To top it off, soft drinks were £4…and even served from a sealed can, to really rub salt into the wound! I also heard others complaining about their food so this wasn’t an isolated case. There were so many great looking restaurants around Southbank that were gutted we wasted the calories and money on this choice. We wouldn’t return or recommend.
