Cozy café atmosphere in Southampton

“Had a fantastic meal here last night with friends, fantastic food and drinks selection.. and our waitress/host Meg was so accommodating nothing was to much trouble for her . Will definitely come again”

“Great breakfast, food was cooked beautifully. Had two veggie breakfasts, mint tea and Avo GO Go smoothie, highly recommend.”

“Wow. Had never been before and went off a trusted friend's recommendation. We had the most lovely evening. They were so accommodating of the fact im in a wheelchair; the restaurant is accessible (however the bathrooms are a little trickier! Thankfully I can walk a little though so it was no issue) My first impression was how homely and welcoming the place was. Then I noticed the cleanliness! Everything was immaculate and looked brand new! We were greeted in and welcomed warmly. The ambience was perfect and the background music was beautiful. Each course came out and was absolutely superb. The starters were actually some of the best food I've ever eaten - we had scallops, duck mousse and the snails - all perfectly cooked and seasoned with the perfect accompaniments. As we sat, enjoying our meal, the restaurant busied and the staff gave the same amount of warmth and service to everyone - greeting many customers like old friends (we assume this means they get a lot of repeat customers!) My husband ordered the cheese board and we were delighted when an entire platter, with an array of cheese was brought out. The waiter asked my husband his taste in cheese and then proceeded to recommend cheeses he thought would be right. He went through the board with such knowledge of the various cheeses and was spot on with every single one he suggested: my husband loved them all! The bathrooms were the cleanest public bathrooms I've ever been in! And this is gonna sound absolutely crazy but it's the first toilet I've ever been to that has really decent toilet roll!! I've stayed in 5 star hotels around the world and never rate the toilet roll but for some of us, well, it's important OK!! There was no pretentiousness and people were dressed in an array of clothing - from smart casual, to a little dressier; so you only need dress up if you feel you want to (we did!) The bill, although a little eye watering, was worth the price completely. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. The portions sizes were more generous than we had expected and we left after 3 courses from their set menu feeling full and very happy! We will 100% be back and highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fine dining, in comfortable surroundings with all the warmth and personality that you'd expect from an independent family run business.”

“Delicious, quirky cafe with a lovely 50’s theme decoration. Food was exquisite and the coffee was excellent. Vegan and vegetarian options available, which are always appreciated! Very good sound track as well and the staff was very friendly. I’m definitely coming back when in this part of the world again! My eggs florentine were novel and delicious!”

“Great food and super friendly service HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place”

“My third visit here in 7 years. I ordered the soup was was told it would be a 35 minute wait. The member of staff saw my disappointment and offered me a complimentary drink because I didn't have enough time to complete my stay. I was very impressed with the service and mulled wine.”
