Having walked past the place a few times and seen the lovely bright and light decor, I was keen to try out this new restaurant. So, last Sunday my husband and I decided to have brunch there. Big mistake! We should've kept going up the escalators to Red.Initially, everything was great. The service was wonderful and the drinks (although expensive for a plain apple juice, $68) were OK.

Initially, everything was great. The service was wonderful and the drinks (although expensive for a plain apple juice, $68) were OK. The restaurant only had a handful of tables, so getting the food out as slow as they did was very poor. In fact, I overheard one gentleman complain that he had to wait 25 minutes for extra toast to go with his omelette. He told the manager, that although the place looked lovely, they had to have better service and cut the waiting time. I couldn't agree more.
I had ordered the full English Breakfast and my husband, the croque monsieur and a side of fries. I told the waitress that I didnt eat black pudding, so she kindly said she would give me extra bacon. For my eggs, I told her I wanted them poached. When the food finally arrived, the full English was the smallest and most expensive, at $189, i had ever seen. That is not really my complaint. What is my complaint, is that the poached eggs were definitely not poached, but deshelled and boiled! I told the waitress and she insisted they were poached. The food was luke warm and there was no 'extra' bacon. As for my husband, the croque monsieur was pretty average and the fries were warm but burnt to a crisp!
A highly disappointing, overpriced, pretentious, poorly cooked meal.
NEVER go there unless you want to pay lots of money wasting your time waiting for awful food!
