Beautiful spot in central London! We were visiting and looking for a flavorful, healthy brunch. Certainly recommend the toasts with a side of salmon or poached eggs, portions are perfect and the food is perfectly fresh. TJ was our incredibly kind and attentive server, the attention to service and detail is incredibly…
