    Reserved a post-film table for 20h30 on a Saturday evening. Upon arrival, we were informed that the table would have to be returned by 21h30 (despite a 90 minute window on the original booking). A request to change table because of very close proximity to adjoining diners was also refused, due to furniture-shifting for a future function. First choice main course unavailable. Food mediocre - soggy and heavy. Overall dismal and disapointing experience.

    We chose crayfish linguine and fish and chips, both were delicious. Excellent value. Friendly and efficient service. Seats could be softer otherwise faultless.

    Food was amazing. We had the tofu Thai green curry and the chicken Kiev with a side of Parmesan fries. The chicken Kiev was amazing! Great portion size! Lovely staff. And an amazing location.

    Had a lovely brunch at IFI cafe today for Mother’s Day, food was really nice / service was friendly & efficient - the glass of Prosecco was a nine touch to make the afternoon screening of movie feel like a great day out- thanks to all the team

    Excellent waiter service and the food was ok (though for the prices charged, larger portions would be welcome). The place needs to stay serving later though. And bring back the gnocchi!

    Nice wholesome food. Good service. Got very noisy and then died down. That does with the territory. Thank you!
