A little hard to find on the first floor of the shopping mall that houses the Vue Cinema.
The place looks good. Un-uniformed staffed nonetheless adhere to an all black dress code which makes them findable and look pretty cool. Service was casual but impeccable with new cutlery brought between courses. Tall picture windows overlooking Upper Street are lovely. Acoustics are horrible though. Food was mightily impressive.
I started with the smoked iberico carpaccio. A dainty portion but a beautifully balanced dish. Slices of cured pork, dotted with homemade mayo, little balls of granny smith apple the size of garden peas, slivers of raw radish and pickled shallots, crispy deep fried shallots and a sprinkle of fresh baby cress. In terms of both flavour and texture a party in the mouth. My companion had that the courgette flower with goats curd and honey. Beautifully thin light tempura batter that didn't taste greasy despite being deep fried. The honey and soft goat's cheese filling made a lovely counterpoint. The micro watercress added a fresh green note.
For mains I had the vegetarian roast artichoke served with roasted new potato and sauteed cavolo nero. I needed the salt shaker for this dish. The addition of toasted buckwheat added a nice crunchy bite. Not terribly exciting but nice. My companion's order of truffle gnocchi was outstanding. Beautiful texture with respect to the gnocchi which can vary from pillowy to dense, depending who is cookng. The version at Jones and Sons was soft but really chewy so absolutely perfect for my taste. It had also been pan fried after boilng so that it had a crispy crust. Truffle flavour was pronounced and there were a lot of sauteed wild mushrooms and paper thin parmesan shavings. Great dish.
We were too full to share a dessert. The house red is a reasonable £20 per bottle and very soft and well rounded. I'd come back in a heartbeat for their gnocchi.
My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary and it was fantastic. It was on the quiet side upon arrival but it’s what we would have expected on a Wednesday night. Overall, the atmosphere is really cute and cosy without being too loud or too close to other tables. The food was delicious, we highly recommend the gnocchi! Service was also great. Our servers were super friendly and attentive. It’s a great place that’s in its own quiet nook in Dalston. We will definitely be back for brunch and the Sunday lunch!
Great to know that they are also dog friendly!
I've been here a few times since 2018/2019 and the service is always great! One of the best brunches in London!
Food is fresh and delicious. Service is impeccable.
Shout out to our servers Chyna, Leah and Clodagh who were attentive and so friendly!!
Good value for money (portions are large) but it's let down by service. The waiting staff were nice but were clearly more interested in chatting than bringing us drinks/the bill/taking orders.
Very good brunch specialist restaurant in the heart of the trendy Dalston area. Large restaurant with plenty of inside and outside seats and I visited for a friends birthday and a had a table of 14-15 comfortably.
The menu was set but there is a la carte too. I had lots of brunch dishes including the advoacado and eggs with an extra bacon.
The menu is good with lots of vegetarian options and the drinks were constantly supplied. Overall a good experience and the staff were excellent and keeping the drinks and food coming.
We went for a weekend brunch which involves ordering as much as you like off the menu for 2 hours. Also nice you can choose to be on or off the wagon!
Food was delicious, felt full for the rest of the day!
Nice mix of sweet and savoury and appreciated the veggie options too.
Service was very friendly, music was good and not too loud. Overall very nice for an occasion brunch!
This week, Jones and Sons hosted 26 of us for dinner and drinks in the private dining area. The service was five stars from start to finish. From the candlelit setting, constantly refilled water jugs to the drool-worthy private dining menu that was very reasonably priced for the high quality, every single person raved about it and left feeling full and satisfied. Thank you from everyone in the comms team at Deliveroo. X
Had such a brilliant Sunday roast, the quality and size of portions was excellent value which really sets it apart from other roast spots in London. Similarly, we were really impressed with the vegetarian options which clearly had a lot of thought behind them, the ricotta squash wellington was delicious!
Enya was also a wonderful waiter and managed to handle 14 of us with humour and efficiency - will definitely be back !
Came here for bottomless brunch at the weekend.
Overall impressed with the experience. The staff were welcoming and friendly upon arrival. We were seated inside - for some context it was the hottest day of the year that day - where we were sat was just a little bit too warm inside for it to be comfortable (however the outside seating area was so hot that we were still thankful we were inside!)
The food was really good and good sized portions, and the bottomless brunch is bottomless food! So we were offered another meal after we’d finished our first, and there were pastries available as well which were made in house and really fresh and tasted great.
The drinks tasted quite weak so didn’t leave feeling like I’d drank that much considering I’d ordered plenty of drinks. They also were slow to serve us initially, sat down for our booking at 1230 and didn’t get anything to the table till close to 1pm - booking is for 2 hours but we really got 1.5 and often had to try and get someone’s attention to order drinks rather than them coming over to check on us.
Again, overall positive experience and would come here again
Brilliant all you can eat brunch! We were so happy to find one and the food was delicious and plentiful! The staff were super friendly, attentive and replaced our plates incredibly quickly. If we had the stomach room, we'd definitely go back again
Lovely food, very attentive staff. We came here for a birthday celebration and had a great experience.
Some things to be mindful of: the acoustics in the room for groups isn't great and the noise level means that you'll have to shout to be heard by your table.
Timekeeping is also important, we had an open bottle of prosecco removed once we hit our time limit. These were the only negatives, otherwise a really enjoyable experience
