Always lovely! The chefs are always amazing and the staff are so lovely, even when they are incredibly busy!

Pretty average service - they cleared our plates and cutlery, then brought more food but no plates or cutlery for us to eat with. Was really difficult to get the staff’s attention too. Food was average - not much flavour and very small portions.

This restaurant must be making a lot of money, it’s really expensive considering what you get. Don’t go here hungry it’s more of an experience than a mealVegetarian options: When I went the whole menu was veggie and I like meat so it was different but I thought everything tasted amazing

Overpriced. So many better wine bars in a 2 mile radius.

It’s a wine bar with some small plates. Focus. It’s a wine bar. I see a lot of negative ratings of people complaining that the plates are small and expensive. I think for east London prices this is standard. The atmosphere in here is great for dates and meeting up with mates. I love the wine collection and I think they are all priced reasonable. 11-15 pounds for a drink is honestly the absolute standard these days and the food were delish. Don’t go here if you are starving its for small tasting along the wine.

This place is SO overrated and SO overpriced. We came here as a group of 5 girls and ordered sharing plates and a bottle of wine. After ordering every dish on the menu and asking the waiter several times if we had ordered enough food or if we needed to order multiple plates so everyone had enough, he failed to explain that the dishes were so small that we literally had a small bite of a vegetable each. How you can justify paying £19 for a slice of pumpkin and £18 for a courgette with sauce I’ll never know. Needless to say we came away starving.Wait staff were slow and forgot our wine, then forgot to tell us that they had run out of bread (probably the one dish that would have been of any substance). Atmosphere is nice, a little loud overall but it was fine.Maybe better for couples, but wouldn’t recommend for a group.

I was there for Felix Woodward's residency - everything I ate was delicious, from the starters through to dessert. The cocktails and wine were also both tasty and unusual, which I loved. Looking forward to my next visit.

Service was amazing, thanks for everyone. Food was experimental and wine was not impressive.

Wildly disappointed. Such a shame as I feel like I'd been recommended Oranj/seen a lot of excitement online but unfortunately it just did not live up to expectations.The portions were unbelievably small for the prices, and although the cured trout was delicious, we weren't that impressed by any of the other dishes we had.Service, for such an expensive restaurant, was terrible. The minute we walked in the atmosphere was snooty and judgey, not one dish was explained to us as it was brought out (and when you're paying £26 for a tiny selection of 4 pieces of grilled squid, it would be nice to have a little talk through at the table), we also paid £64 for a bottle of wine, that came to the table after our first dish because the wine service was that slow.I normally do not leave negative reviews at all, but London has so many amazing restaurants and places, and this had the potential to be absolutely lovely, I wouldn't want anyone to go and be disappointed.I really hope after some recent negative reviews it can switch things up more positively!

Buzzy to the point of being over full, cold, and expensive. We had two glasses each and with service charge was over £60.
From the moment we arrived untill the end was unforgettable experience. Thank you for the lovely night,Szandi

Both the food and wine were absolutely immense. Extra points for having super welcoming and fun staff. Was sublime from start to finish and will definitely be back.

I come from Paris and I am unfortunately used to the infamous “French tapas” concept, i.e. insta-friendly places where you eat such small plates that your first stop after dinner turns from a bar to the closest McDonald’s. Despite the interesting atmosphere and vibe, as well as the efforts of the staff to make us feel at ease, this restaurant was a disappointment. Portions are so so so (really, too) small! The carrots were almost invisible. I still do not get what the dessert was supposed to taste like - want to speak about that small drop of coffee added to the plate? Also, don’t expect bread. I am really forcing myself to find anything good about this place. I won’t come back, there’s already too many of these aesthetic yet highly disappointing places which give you the illusion that you are going to spend the best time of your life but leave you numb. £61/person for the whole menu, 2 bottles of wine and an empty stomach.

Can’t share an opinion on the food as we only went for drinks but the vibe was great, staff were really accommodating and friendly even though we were late by 20 mins and had really great wine recommendations. Really lovely wine bar.

staff was amazing super helpful however this place is super overrated! wine list is not the best, food is just trying to so hard to be different, it's good to grab a glass of wine if you are around but nothing more!
