Great coffee and cakes, we haven't tried the meals, but they do look nice. A little small inside, but relaxing atmosphere, newspapers and wifi. A regular stop for us.

This is a lovely, modern restaurant in the centre of Watford. They offer a typical grill menu of steaks, burgers, mixed grills, and pleasing, recognisable starters. The quality of the meat is excellent: tender and flavourful, and the cooking is precise and well-handled. The prices are also very decent, considering the quality of the ingredients. The service is efficient and friendly.

Excellent food, quality and great service. We have been here several times so that speaks for itself. Burgers are great - really tasty and fresh. Chicken and Salmon all good. They do great early evening deals. Nice environment, friendly. You can buy jars of sauces, condiments etc nice little gifts for Christmas or Birthdays

Nice place with good ambience, good wines and nice nibbles. Drinks are pricier than the other bars in Watford, but it's worth it for the quality and service.
