This was mine and my husband's first visit to this restaurant, and what a pleasant surprise. The food was fantastic, the service was great and the atmosphere was lovely, including the decor. The restaurant staff were very professional and welcoming. The cocktails delicious. The owner, Leke, was lovely and checked on us a few times to ensure all was well. I'd definitely go back again; it's been lovely discovering this local restaurant!
Fantastic food and customer service! The owner Leke came to speak to us and was super friendly. The range of cocktails were superb with great alcohol ratio. Food was fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend and will be back to try desert.
I took my mother-in-law for a birthday dinner. We were greeted by a friendly gentlemen who immediately offered a Highchair for my daughter. We were served quickly, food and cocktails were delicious and my mother-in-law sent her complicit the chef. An added plus was the music, subtle r&b really set the tone. Will definitely be back!
I visited with a large group for my mum's 60th birthday. The staff was very attentive, the ambience was amazing, great music, and the food was delicious. Would recommend the Prawns, the confit duck with Mac and cheese. Also the cocktails were very good as well, and bar staff very friendly.
My mum loved the jewellery box dessert was very special.
If you're looking for a quiet meal, or a birthday meal this restaurant is worth paying a visit!
The atmosphere- Chilled out, easy, pretty and relaxing. Really good vibes at 1487, the selection of music was nice not too loud.
The host- was just a gracious, knowledgeable and warm host, he checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal and offered us a complimentary carrot soup at the start to open up our palletes. Yum!
There is an event space also next door called Space 8 which is available for hiring for bigger crowds and parties (FYI).
The food and cocktails- was divine, on par if not better than some of the african fusion restaurants in the West End.
For starters we had the:
lamb spring rolls
chicken lollipop
Tiger king prawns
All very flavourful and delicious
For our main we had the
Lamb shank
Pan fried salmon
Overall a nice experience, just down the road from us and we will definitely be back again.
Excellent decor and modern fresh vibe, perfect for a date. The decor may be more feminine in design but that flower wall at the back of the restaurant is awesome and creates a sense of occasion. Perfect for instagrammers and such.
The food was creatively presented and definitely photo worthy. The taste was nice - could've been better though, as this was a 'fine dining' experience I expected more complexity in the flavours. I really enjoyed the complimentary soup sample 1. Because it was free and unexpected and 2) because it was delicious. I do hope they continue this as they time goes on and the menu evolves.
Only things I would respectfully suggest to change is to have a powerful heater / air con unit above the entrance door and throughout the premises. And maybe more balance in the food flavours but at the price point of around £30 for the priciest main meal on the menus it was honestly about right for price and quality.
It will be hard to leave disappointed from here.
I had a great experience at this place, such a lovely atmosphere, service was great, the staff was the most pleasant, friendly people and food was more then amazing. I absolutely loved everything the appetizer, main, dessert and cocktail, I highly recommend this place.
I was invited to a private birthday celebration at this restaurant [11/9]. We were asked to pre-ordered due to the number of diners.
A friend and I arrived early hoping to have pre-lunch drinks but the establishment wasn't open which was sad. However the management explained that they were ensuring that everything was sanitized prior to opening. We had our drinks at a local bar upon returning the atmosphere was lively
Prior to lunch we ordered cocktails which were good and fairly priced.
Rosemary bread [freshly baked] was served with salted butter - delicious and we could have ate more.
The starter was crispy prawns on a bed of crispy noodles and assorted salad leaves
My main course consisted of lobster, mac n cheese and salad leaves. I ordered a side of broccoli.
Desert was a gooey chocolate Brownie with chocolate sauce and ice cream...
The cost of the set menu was £37 with a supplement of £4 for the lobster and a choice of extra plates chips, veg, salads etc from about £3.
The ambiance was good [we had a DJ] and the staff were attentive. Would definitely eat here again.... and since then I have TWICE!!!🙈
This place is definitely becoming a firm favourite of mine. I was here 7/10 and again on 14/10... last week I had oxtail ravioli - lovely, lamb shank [that fell off the bone and melted in the mouth] with a smooth, sweet potato mash, harrisa and pickled vegetables. I was full but just about managed to squeeze in a sorbet triple of mango, raspberry and lime.
This week my starter was chicken lollipops, delicious and for my main course I enjoyed pan fried seabass with a crab croquette, sticky rice, mango salsa. Seems I ate it before i took the photo 🙊🙊🤣. The dessert mango parfait, coconut cake, peach jewels came in a jewellery box and needs to be tasted to be believed it was just right not too sweet.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The second time I visited I mentioned how impressed I was with the bread and butter [both vegan and made on the premises] and wanted to order it again. It was explained to me that it is not generally available... however this time i was greeted on my 3rd visit with bread and butter made specially for my visit 🫂.... the owner recognised me when I made the 3rd reservation and surprised me. Not too many restaurants go to those lengths to accommodate a client... looking forward to seeing you soon.
I chose this restaurant to host my husbands 40th birthday (with 40 guests) and we all really enjoyed it!
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and warm, the decor was lush and the service was 5 star! Our hosts were very friendly, pleasant and brought a lot of smile and laughter to our night. It was an unforgettable memory for us.
We'll definitely come back again.
A special thank you to all the staff, the owner Leke and compliments to the chef! 🙂
Amazing service. The menu had great items and the cocktails were wonderful. This location is ideal for date night and parties
