    Eggs Florentine
    Dia D.

    We were staying at the Hoxton Hotel and one morning we decided to have breakfast at the Hoxton Grill rather than the free bag Pret breakfast that they deliver to each room. We sat outside in the courtyard and had wonderful porridge (oxymoron?) and eggs florentine. The food was good and very reasonably priced for a hotel restaurant. The service was fast and friendly. As for those who are looking for the bar scene, the bar/lobby was very busy every night.

    Eggs Benedict

    Venue - 3 Service - 2 Food - 3 Value - 3 Overall - 2 We decided to have late brunch/lunch at Hoxton Grill on New Year's day. I have always wanted to try this restaurant as I walk past the trendy hotel frequently. The restaurant is set on the ground floor of open planned hotel, occupying half of the space at the back. There are 2 dining spaces, with the larger 'indoors' american diner area which is next to the open kitchen. There is a second, smaller dining space, which looks like a conservatory with natural light. The restaurant was fairly busy but had quite a few empty tables, which had not been cleaned. We were instantly told that it would be a 10 mins wait for the table, by a not very friendly front-of-house, and without a smile. We waited at the bar, and eventually after about 20 mins, a table was ready. Our waitress was helpful, but clearly overwhelmed as she was covering about 10 tables. Food took a while to arrive (Eggs benedict and eggs & avocado), and was slightly cold on serving. The poached eggs were runny and done well otherwise. Overall, the experience was underwhelming.

    I've heard a lot about this place and tried their cocktails but never got to sample the food. Visited on a very busy Sunday afternoon-ish with a couple friends for a quick bite. The restaurant was full but the hostess told us we could sit in the lounge. We soon sat down and had the menu in our hands. We all opted for a burger, one of us had the chicken burger and we got some onion rings on the side. You can have your burger with salad or chips. Us being carb-consuming monsters, we went for the chips. The food was outstanding. I've tried both the beef and chicken burger and they were both delicious. Cooked as we ordered them and with a full taste profile. I really liked the chicken burger, next time I'll be getting that for sure. It's affordable but its also easy to spend a lot of money on the food here. All in all, an excellent choice.

    Never had a better meal, come here every time I'm in London. I have always thoroughly enjoyed all the meals we have had here, and the drinks are quite amazing too. Very creative chefs with some amazing talent cooking some of the best meals I've had in my life, no joke. This stereotype of British food being bad has been crushed by this place alone. On this trip I could tell they have gained quite a lot of popularity because it is always so busy, and rightly so. Make reservations and plan for a great evening. I would say attire would be business casual. Prices are so extremely fair for the absolute wonderful quality of food you get. I will always come here anytime while in London. Don't pass this place up, inside the Hoxton Hotel in Shoreditch, London.

    The best chicken I've ever had.
    cathy d.

    Ordered: 1) Flat Iron Chicken, roast garlic, oregano (comes with fries) 2) Side of broccoli This was hands down one of my favorite meals in London. Then again, I'm also from America and it's possible my reaction is slightly heightened due to being homesick after staying here for 2 weeks :). Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. The chicken was ridiculously juicy (like seriously), with great flavor, and was balanced with the perfect amount of saltiness for me. I also love garlic, so the cloves of roasted garlic around the plate just added to the magic of the dish. The broccoli is actually broccolini and is what you'd expect it to be (steamed). I soaked it in the chicken juices/sauce and cleaned up the plate. Service was friendly and there's a really cool, chill vibe in the restaurant. Needless to say, I'd definitely visit this restaurant again.

    I have to confess I love this place! the atmosphere, service, food, music, people ... everything at Hoxton Grill is great! I've been there many time and I was never disappointed by it. They have the best cheesecake ever! If you are there you have to try it :) they have great cocktails and good wine selection It gets very busy so if you want a table you better book it or be there early ;) great place for a meeting with friends and family

    Nice place to go for (expensive) drinks. Do nice food though not cheap. Surprisingly the rooms aren't that expensive compared to other hotels in the area. If you want to drink to impress, not a bad place to come, also stay open late.

    Soho Negroni... Classic
    Raphaelle H.

    Another one of those London hangouts where the free wifi and half decent coffee has attracted the good, the bad, and the hipsters... Ok so finding a seat is basically a game of musical chairs but if you do decide to go after work, the wine is nice, it's open late and it's always got a buzz about it. Not for the shrinking violets but strut your stuff and who knows who you'll bump into for a conversation. Just be warned: Foxtons have an office opposite ;)

    Whiskey Sour and Soho Negroni
    Louisa K.

    When walking past this Hotel I had always liked the modern design interior so one day we went in for some tea in the afternoon. The ambience was relaxed and cozy. I went a second time because I had a feeling the bar would make some awesome cocktails. I wasn't disappointed. They prepare all the classics (I loved my whiskey sour) and have a few HOUSE TONICS (like the SOHO NEGRONI) too. I didn't find the latter all too yummy but the atmosphere made up for it. Unfortunately the service was useless. There were some waiters running around who never stopped at our table, although it wasn't crowded. Eventually I ordered our drinks at the bar and had a lovely chat with the charming baristas instead.

    Burgers sitting for an hour under the hot lights

    Previous evenings I've been, this has been a five star place. It has a busy, buzzy atmosphere. There is organized, informal, competent service, it feels like being back in Brooklyn, in a good way. And the food has been great too. Everything's good so no need for me to tell you about specific dishes. But last visit, mid-afternoon, there were very few customers, and all that efficiency was gone. We recognized our dishes cooked, on the counter, under the hot lights. And they sat and sat and sat, with no-one to bring them the 10 yards to our table, us too English to fetch them ourselves. When they finally arrived they were tepid and dry, I sent mine back. I'd like to put that aside as a one off. But they had a large pile of burgers under the same lights (presumably going to a private room) and they took a few every ten minutes or so. We were there for an hour, and there were still some left under the lights at the end. Even McDonalds limits how long the let burgers sit on those chutes. Those would have been some nasty dry burgers by the end. So yeah, overall, do go there, just not at 4pm midweek.

    We came here since the big boss was in town. This was my first visit and our seating area wasn't…read morethe best (we sat in the bar area) but the views were great and the food wasn't too bad either. 3/5 Corn ribs - never had a corn rib before. Good, a bit sweet. Messy to eat. 3/5 Truffle fries - good but average 4/5 Polenta - very tasty, a must. 3/5 Duck and waffle - I expected this to be bigger but it was good. I normally prefer chicken but the duck wasn't bad. All the food was decent and the staff were all nice. It's unfortunate that the walk to the restaurant passes by the smelly toilets. Also there was only one lift working that day so it took a little time to get up/down.

    I've been looking forward to visiting Duck & Waffle for quite some time. The views are incredible,…read morethe space itself is striking, and on paper it promises that perfect London mix of skyline, late-night energy, and elevated comfort food. Unfortunately, our experience was soured before it even had a chance to begin. My girlfriend and I walked in excited, completely amicable, simply hoping to head upstairs for a bite and drinks. We were greeted by the doorman with an immediate, dismissive "Are you good?" -- not in a welcoming or helpful tone, but in a way that felt skeptical and unnecessarily confrontational. There was no warmth, no "welcome in," no attempt at hospitality. It immediately set an uncomfortable tone. He then proceeded to call upstairs as though he were doing us some sort of favor just by allowing us to go up. The entire interaction felt transactional and judgmental rather than gracious. First impressions matter, especially at a place that positions itself as a premium dining destination. Hospitality begins at the door, not at the table. When we finally made it upstairs, the room was filled with visibly drunk, rowdy groups -- which only made the earlier attitude feel even more misplaced. If that environment is acceptable (and profitable), then two polite guests looking for drinks and food shouldn't be met with suspicion at the entrance. By that point, the damage was done. The initial interaction had already rubbed us the wrong way, and the energy upstairs didn't help. We ultimately decided to leave before even sitting at our table. That's how strongly the first impression impacted us. It's difficult to justify staying somewhere when you don't feel genuinely welcomed from the outset. Duck & Waffle has the potential to be memorable for all the right reasons. But someone representing the brand at the very front needs to understand that hospitality isn't optional -- it's foundational. A simple, respectful welcome would have changed everything. I hope management takes this seriously, because no guest should feel judged or dismissed before they even step inside.

We had a party of 13 so I understand there would be somewhat of a wait and that the whole Dining experience might take a while. We dined on a Tuesday night and the place was quite busy! It took at least 30 minutes from sitting down to get our drinks and another 10 on top of that for them to bring out some bottles of water. It seemed like our server was training someone new. They could have been more efficient, but it took a long time for them both to go around the table and enter in our orders. We were at a work after hours function so we all ordered from the 3 courses for 45 quid option. All of the starters sounded good, but I was slightly disappointed in the drunken dumplings as there were only 2, but the presentation was cool with them pouring the broth into the bowl at the table. I wish I had ordered the cheddar and shrimp toasties as they looked quite good! This place has awesome & fun cocktails, hence the Alchemist name. I didn't realize this at first so ordered a Mai Tai which was not nearly as exciting as some of what my colleagues ordered. Second time around I ordered the red zombie which came out smoking with a test tube vial of absinthe to add in! Definitely cool, but also a bit strong. I had the ribeye steak for my main. It was delicious! The cauliflower and potatoes very good too. Had the next level chocolate brownie for dessert. My only thought is it could have used a bigger scoop of ice cream compared to the size of the brownie but it was delicious! So good, in fact, that I had to finish every last crumb. The ambiance was nice. The bathroom was clean, but a little hard to locate. All in all, I would definitely come back if in the area again.

The smell of fresh paint, with it's a lovely warm atmosphere, magnolia walls, dark wood, candles on each table and lots of cocktails to choose from makes it a great after work or pre-party venue. I got the cocktail which was the first on the menu and it was called Frothy Lady (I think). Very sweet and hardly tasted the alcohol. The espresso cocktail tasted great too but couldn't taste the alcohol. So it got me wondering if they were being stingy or were they just really good. The jalapeño pretzels were really nice and the olives had too much lemon on them for my liking but I was hungry so ate them all anyway. It's next to The Book Club and a short walk from Old Street so if you're around give it a try!
