Bar & Grill in Barnsbury Canonbury And Islington

“Summary: a nice place for food, but atmosphere wasn’t very compatible with a peaceful meal and staff were efficient but cold.Longer version: came here on a Thursday night - booked a table for 2. This place was busy so I recommend booking in advance. The first thing I noticed is the music in there was far too loud. There is a bar area and a restaurant area, but the music spilled over into the restaurant. Our table was as far away from the bar as it could be, but we were still struggling to hear each other at times.The menu had lots of choice and was clearly labelled for different dietary requirements. I had the chicken skewers as starter which tasted nice, but for the price, the portion size was too small. The fish and chips were nice and the portion size was better, but a tad too oily. No one offered us any condiments with our chips either - which was a shame. For dessert, I had the crumble - good portion size, tasted nice, but not much in the way of crumble! The sticky toffee pudding was nicer in my opinion.Staff were efficient and accommodating. They regularly asked how our food was and we weren’t left waiting for very long for anything. The only thing I would say is that they were quite superficial and cold with us - I don’t think we ever got a genuine smile from anyone. It made the experience rather awkward at times.Price was a little too high for what it was.Dietary restrictions: Menu is labelled for dietary restrictions such as gluten-free options.Staff enquired about allergies at the start.”
