    Had a 3 course meal here which was absolutely amazing, fantastic food. Stayed after 10pm also when the club opens at about 10.30 and had a great night, play good music, predominantly rnb and hip hop. Good both for food and the clubbing. Will come here again for either!

    Hen party for my cousin in law! Great experience, plus was the DJ, food was mediocre but the drinks and atmosphere made up for it! Only negative was that we waited a long time for our mains despite pre ordering couple of weeks in advance, and then receiving mediocre food, I'd describe this place best as being a bar / party place / weekend Rather than a restaurant at the weekend at 5.30pm x

    I visited this place yesterday with a mate. She’d been before and said she had a good time but for me it was my first. When initially seated it is expected to be given time to look over the menu, but we were left forever. The table next to us arrived at the same time and they appeared to just walk out after being left for so long. Cocktails ordered, both pants. They tasted cheap and lacking expertise. Food was worse. Neither me or my friend ate it. It was mostly cold and tasteless, even the fries were just average. Atmosphere generally was good and tables seems generally spaced out. Waitress showed attention to help when we expressed our concerns however this did not help the experience. We paid a very high bill for a cocktail I hated and food I couldn’t stand. This review is for anyone wanting to spend their hard earned money, just beware. I shan’t ever go to this establishment again, there are many venues uptown where you could go and spend that type of money which would make more sense!

    Lovely experience on the rooftop for a small meal and cocktails! Unfortunately they don’t have happy hour anymore but the food itself was delicious - we ordered the crispy calamari, the souvlaki and some oven baked sweet potato wedges. Service was also friendly and attentive.

    We went there for a 90s games event, we didn't expect the food was also extremely good. The pool is fun even for us 30+ 😅 overall a nice place. The brunch was great, we would return

    Brilliant Customer Service and excellent food. Small weekday menu cooked to a high quality (the sweet potato wedges are divine!). Only 4 stars because they rushed to get us to pay, hardly giving us the chance to look through the Bill.

    Visited yesterday for my cousins birthday and was very impressed. Very upscale, the decor, the lighting and the table were all so beautiful. The food and the drinks were absolutely delicious I woke up still thinking about it. Our server was a sweetheart. My cousin was told her name is Molly (I hope that's correct) but she was wonderful, and also the friendly blonde who cleared our table, apologies I didnt catch her name. Also the magician who blew my mind was absolutely amazing. Cant fault the place at all. The service was A1 we will definitely visit again soon.

    Went out here last night to the club. Never met such rude door staff in my entire life! So aggressive unnecessarily and wouldn't let my two male friends in as there weren't enough females in our group (I am female and was there with another female). Paid £20 entry for a hot box with no where to move. Please save your money and don't bother

    Poor experience of attending the bar with several colleagues after work. Shame considering that prior to this, I attended with a friend with no issues. Arranged a table and told that it was only available until 6pm. Noone had arrived by 6:10 asked if we could move when they arrive, told no. Rushed to with move us and weren't particularly motivated to allow us alternative tables, considering the bar (very large one) was literally empty. Failed to bring the correct drinks in the first part of the order and real reluctance to show any form of genuine customer care. Suspect that its due to the fact that some the colleagues didn't resemble their core clientele. Not made to feel welcome at all or that our orders were appreciated. Refused to pay service charge and decided to visit Bread and Roses around the corner. Live music, nice customer service and loads of room to accommodate us in the beer garden. We were also told by other colleagues who eventually joined us, that the table we were vacated from was still empty 45 minutes later. Also note that the toilets are in need of MAJOR renovation. Never again.

    Went here with some friends. We really liked the place but then the waitress made us feel a little uncomfortable because we ordered lots of small plates between us rather than small plates and main meals. We then felt a rather frosty atmosphere from her for the remainder of our visit so decided to move on to somewhere else. Liked the music vibes in there and great cocktails.

    This place is just waste of money - entry 10£ + £2 cloakroom, cocktails are rip off - paying 10£ for class of ice. No sitting area or tables (unless you pay for it), place badly maintained and- definitely not a place to spend your time and money.

    We went for a SEGA 90’s Brunch and our host Cindy could not have been more attentive! She kept our drinks topped up, was on hand to help with any queries and really looked after us and made the day. The food was delicious! Amazing steak sandwich, generous helping of fries which were hot and service was fast. The retro gaming was so fun, old school Mega Drives with Sonic, Street fighter, mrs Pac man and loads more, made it a different experience and a lot of laughs! After the gaming we jumped in to the ballpit which was hilarious, you could also game from the ballpit! Funny, different afternoon out! Would recommend! Thank you Cindy!! Xx

    First time here. We were looked after by Cindy. What a lovely, bubbly beautiful amazing woman. She made sure we were okay, brilliant service, very funny. We felt at home because of Cindy. She made sure our drinks were topped up before we finished them. Thank you so much for your amazing service x

    Absolutely amazing experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday. Thank you guys. The food was amazing and the drinks were lovely. The service was also great and the server (I believe she was called Molly) was amazing even though there was a large group of us. I will definitely go back and recommend this place. All my guests had a lovely time. Thanks again

    Ever been clubbing and thought 'hey, do you know what would be great here? A sit down overpriced Greek meal!' Aside from the weird decor, overpowering smell of vomit and thumping house music at 7pm, the food was next level awful. Paid £55 for drinks + a sharer platter that consisted of a few pieces of Falaffel, fried chicken and bland cauliflower. The staff, in all fairness, were attentive and offered good service until they 'accidently' doubled the service charge to 25%. I'm not over exaggerating when I say this was the most overpriced and most underwhelming meal I've ever eaten out.

  • 5/5 alexandros r. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and service. I didn't see much Greek in the menu but the food was great. Was pleasantly surprised as you don't expect such good food from places that have a nice bar too.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place for a spot of weekend brunch with friends. If you get the chance to go on the roof garden then do. It's fully covered and has great heating. With the cocktail and food menu it really feels continental. Main plus, the staff are super fun, really friendly team who all clearly enjoy what they are doing.

  • 5/5 Ashna B. 1 year ago on Google
    I never really write reviews but I had a wonderful time here for my birthday. I had a lovely dinner on the roof top ( you need to try the steak and the fish cake). I got some free shots and they even brought out a birthday cake for me! I want to give a special thanks to Cindy for looking after us all night, you truly are the sweetest soul and you made my birthday! Thank you again Aquum!

    Went here for my birthday for a bottomless brunch! We had 2 ladies serving us, Cindy & Molly, they were amazing! So attentive and I’ve been to some bottomless brunches where I’ve had to chase waiters/waitresses to get a top up but these ladies were amazing. I only ever got half way through my drink and they would be there topping up my glass! Food was good too! Could not fault it, I will definitely be back!

  • 3/5 Lamar W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location and great space... although, if you're a male... there is no guarantee you'll get inside unless you're paying for a £600 table or is on a "priority guestlist".. alteast that's what myself and two other male friends were told at the door by a member of staff. I may try it again however as the vibe was right (music selection etc) and drinks are affordable.

  • 5/5 Nate's R. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a questionable service from a member of staff when we got in for a bottomless brunch. However, Cindy (with a 'C') came to save the day and gave us wonderful service! The food was great and we had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend here to anyone as the initial member of staff was a temp.

  • 3/5 Kimberley M. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here for a friend's birthday, the atmosphere and the roof terrace were lovely. Thankfully there were heaters up there as well. We pre-ordered everything as they make you do for groups so we expected it to arrive quicker than it did The mixed starter was amazing, definitely recommend the falafel and the pitta bread with lots of different dips, if you do have allergies this place will try to accommodate. Our server didn't know what was in certain dips so we had to be super careful with the allergy sufferers at the table. The calamari was so disappointing so I would say avoid it. For my main I chose the fish cakes. I wouldn't recommend it, the poached egg was fully cooked and the sauce which I think was hollandaise was very sour. The fish cake wasn't anything special either. Most of the staff were pleasant but as some people pulled out last minute they tried not to give us the drinks we had already paid for. Also there's a female door staff that is quite aggressive and rude, we were offered tequila shots as an apology. Left early because that ruined my night.

    Went to Aquum for spontaneous drinks and shisha with my husband. Staff were very accommodating and very polite. We were seated on the roof terrace which is a lovely cosy space with heating and ample seating. Would highly recommend the tropical ice tea which is delicious! Music is an absolute vibe; would highly recommend visiting.

    Great venue, great staff, top night out

  • 4/5 Charlene G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely food & drinks at Aquum. Staff were absolutely brilliant too!!! Definitely recommend going.

  • 3/5 Charlotte P. 2 years ago on Google
    Drinks were good but I’d question the honesty of the staff if they can’t divide by 2 honestly when paying the bill. How many other bills have been rounded up over and above the 12.5% service

    My this place has changed... Went for works Xmas dinner/night. Waited for ages to bring food out, even then they brought some and others were waiting had to ask like 3 times. So we all ate at different times. When the food came out was dry chips cold, not what was expected. I didn't even eat it. So I thought ok I will drink (tasted watered-down)and enjoy the rest of the night. No the DJ was absolutely rubbish and miserable, said he played request he did not play one! If you are a grown adult that likes good vibes with decent music this is not the place for you, its full of young kids. They had some dead ball pit in there with squashed balls that looked like you may catch something in there,hate to think what would be underneath those balls looked like they have never been cleaned. I am a well rounded raver who has been to many pubs/bars/clubs I doubt I will be coming back any time soon. Very disappointing!

    Giuseppe was so fantastic and so fabulous- he is so lovely and the best thing about the venue. He is 11/20 and they are so lucky to have him - I hope they look after him properly. He was so knowledgable about spirits and I learnt so much from him- he made my entire evening and I would not come back without his expertise- I will be back just for guiseppe!

    I do not recommend this club the vibe was terrible felt like the workers where just watching all the time ready to throw people out the dj was awful the music kept cutting out for a good 2 minutes so there was silence when we left the bouncer at the door said to me finally your leaving which he wasn’t rude in the beginning when he was taking my entry money they are all for your money and make up prices as they go
