    Mixed feelings about it. Overall a good experience. We were three men, dancing quietly with our drink. Four “i own it all” girls came towards us and one of them broke one of our drinks, almost on purpose. She didn’t even say sorry I had to go after her and say “you owe us a drink”. After a long “argument” her friend decided to pay for the drink. The problem was solved by me. Her friends were actually clearly nicer and more respectful. But the girl who broke our drink were not happy about it and came back to convince the friend not to pay for it. With an awful attitude. Anyway, after the fuss, the bouncer came to us to see that what going on. I was surprised that it was addressed and handled efficiently. I was feeling pretty unsafe until they came because the girl was a bit drunk and being very very disrespectful, and loud specially to my boyfriend. So, cheers to the responsible manager who took care of it immediately, and we continued to have fun feeling safe. Be ready to pay 15 pounds for entry and 2 for coats. And there is a guy in the restroom that asks for money. Probably the point where it lost one star for me.

    Great brunch which was massively let down by your security on the door. We went recently for a friends 43rd birthday - and for the brunch itself we had a fabulous day. Our server Fabio was absolutely brilliant, all the of the staff behind the bar were so friendly and the options for the food and drinks for the brunch were great. We had so much fun - so when we were told that at 4.30pm everyone had to leave but could come back after a quick 30 minute turn around - we were really happy to wait and come back. Up until then our visit had been faultless. Upon trying to get back into the venue however - a young man and a women on the door were so incredibly rude to us. It felt like they didn’t want anyone from the brunch to come back in and were very patronising. Whilst I understand they have a duty of care - we were not rude or obnoxious or falling over drunk. We were, however not going to be spoken to like that so in the end we left and went somewhere else. We were even told by the female security ‘I will be keeping an eye on you guys in there’… I’m not really sure what she’d be hoping to see… some embarrassing mum dancing perhaps or just a group of friends having a great time (up until then)?! It’s such a massive shame as it put a dampener on what would have otherwise been a 5* day!

    We booked a group area on Saturday night for 14 people. We were given 2 chairs and half a table pushed to the wall to stand around, it was an absolute shambles. In the small print it did mention that it was 1 chairs per 5 people, as it was standing area. Granted it was written in advance, but it has no logic sense. Why cram 14 people in an area which can only accommodate 2 people? Why ask for the number of people only to not cater for them? It soon became clear as we had more and more people come in, it was HEAVING. With no where to stand, no where to dance, it was unbearable. Think it’s worth knowing the above in advance as it really impacts the experience, and honestly it put a real dampener on a fun girls night. Other thing to note- the pianist plays requests(which is an obvious one!), but there must have been some miserable people there that night as we had to dance to some real slow ones all night. Not sure if piano works moderate (probably not as it’s all cash funded and we know they like the money) but at times it was very slow P.a have to agree with the sentiment below security we’re rough and the manager was exceptionally rude. There were some lovely waitresses though. Far better places to go in London, jf your looking for a good night.

    The manager Victoria was an appalling manager and spent the night with a vendetta against us. We arrived at 5pm and bought several rounds of drinks. We’d sat on a table that was reserved from 9pm and were told this was fine but would have to move at 20:45. Obviously this is fine but at 19:40 we were asked to move as the party had arrived. This is a long time before their booking so we asked if we could stay or if there was an alternative table we could sit at. The manager was very rude and was not listening at all. We had tried to book a table over a month ago but we were told you could not book for less than 15 people so we didn’t. The booking arrived and there was only two people. Victoria’s vendetta then continued when I tried to put mine and my friend’s coats in the cloakroom. She saw me there and came over. She separated my coat and my cardigan and made me pay for two items. She then made me take a picture because I was “so drunk” I was going to lose the card. At this point I was not even sure why she thought this was necessary because I wasn’t drunk. Victoria spent the night trying to follow us around, and when me and my friend went into the toilet together, there were two ladies aggressively banging on the door to the cubicle. When I was finished, to no surprise victoria was there with a female member of security. Victoria accused us of taking drugs, which is abhorrent considering i have never taken anything and had done nothing to suggest this was the case. When I asked why we were being targeted, Victoria then used her position of power to call the security to remove us. She was clearly just power hungry and wanted to use her little ear piece to show off her position. We were not rude or aggressive so there was no need for the security. She then didn’t want to let me wash my hands before leaving the bathroom and tried to stop us getting our coats. Absolutely ridiculous service and it is a shame because the venue and the performers are incredible. Victoria said she was happy to receive a negative review, so here it is! Piano works I think you need to have a look at who you’re picking to be management and have a think about whether this is the treatment of your customers that you want. Perhaps your management need training on how to deal with members of the public.
