    What a fantastic lil tucked away jazz club! We were strolling around looking for something to do on…read moreour last night in London, and happened to spot piano on the street. Thankfully, they had some more room for their performance that night (the whole place only seats about 35-40 people max). I ordered The Lee's Knees and my partner got The Hibiscus Dream (non-alc). Both were good, but mine was especially tasty - so gingery and smooth with just the right amount of lemon, truly one of the better cocktails I've had in London. We didn't order any, but many other tables ordered pizza and it looked quite delish. We happened to see a singer that night, backed by a guitarist and a bassist. The sound quality was superb, and volume level perfect for the venue size. Cozy, great acoustics, fab cocktails - what more could you want??

    This was a fun bar to stumble across late night in the Barbican area. A really great selection of…read moreinteresting and well mixed cocktails, of which the In The Pink and Thyme For The Reaper were particularly good. Both the staff and the crowd were friendly and fun, it was after midnight when I popped in, and the place was a big sing along! I can't comment on the food or the Jazz, but I will definitely go back and check them out. One warning, it is a small space, so may not be the best for larger groups unless you've booked in advance.

    Our office recently moved into the area along with us and we visited Straight and Narrow following…read moreglowing reviews. However the abysmal and disorganized service ruined the experience - Firstly we booked a table, arrived on time but were asked to wait at the bar for 20 minutes whilst there were 4 tables free. After finally questioning why were still waiting after we saw another trio walk in and be given a double table straight away, we questioned this and the surprisingly smarmy waiter ushered us (a trio) to a single cramped table that we were staring at and was empty for the last 20 minutes. There was a another double table next to us but we assumed it was booked - 30 seconds later another trio walks in and the waiter sits them there immediately. Whatever, the waiter clearly had something against us. Food arrived 40 minutes after ordering, which isn't terrible but we did expect it to come faster. Two dishes were utterly delicious and hot, the roast chicken and the french toast, but the vegetarian brunch was served largely cold. We had hoped to order more but decided early on that becuase of how the waiter had treated us and seated us as a trio at a two seater cramped table with with barely any dish space, we would just get some more plates and dessert at a coffee house just to the other side of Limehouse. The waitress I must say was fantastic and attentive, we have to apologize for not leaving a tip for her but we we're quite angry as we left. The older waiter however took items away from our table without asking (butter that the waitress had just delivered seconds ago and a half full drink) and we snapped when he silently ambled over and lifted one of our plates that still had food on it while it was still being eaten - we were bemused and shocked. I was quite sharp with him to be honest but rather than apologize and offer to make it right he hung around like a bad smell and looked to want to start an argument with me saying that he couldn't believe I asked him to use his mouth and ask us before he took items away - all while the entire dining room was staring at us. I lost my appetite completely and just wanted to leave. Imagine coming here on a special occasion and having your day ruined by this chap - not professional at all. We regret to say this as its a stone's throw from our building, but we certainly won't be coming here again.

    Top Sunday roast! Will endeavour to come back for a midweek meal. Staff very friendly and quick…read moreservice.
