    Nice enough restaurant with good service, but the roast dinner was £25...and pretty unremarkable. Chicken portion was notably tiny.

    Ok so I had been meaning to go to this local restaurant for a while and i went yesterday for lunch at around 1 pm. This is not a 5 star review from 5 years ago. I’ll start with the good things. The space is nice and the food is ok. My issue starts with the staff.. When you arrive they emit a cold, clinical and non welcoming atmosphere. They act like you are entering a Michelin star establishment when even the best of the lot are more welcoming. They seem like they absolutely don’t want to be there and frankly it made the entire experience uncomfortable and pompous. We’re in Clapham here, on a family middle class street. Make it feel like that. When you have a 3 course menu that you charge 45£ which is 35£ under what a 3 Michelin star restaurant like the Bernardin in NY Manhattan charge, you explain the menu. You guide the client through it. However they were responsive every time I asked for water, bread, etc. The food. It was clean, light and not overdone. However it felt very thrown together and the non-overdone approach makes it feel bland and underwhelming. It’s not giving at all. If you’re going to go minimal to add focus on the ingredient, that’s one thing, but it shouldn’t feel disappointing or restrained. The smoked salmon was a joke. 3 pieces that are the size of a pinky and 5 thin slices of cucumber. Come on. No play with textures, platting was boring… If you go rustic, go with more. If you go minimal, be creative and surprise the client. The dumplings with pistachio. Again, light and home-y. However the dumplings tasted soapy and the minestrone like broth with chickpeas tasted bland and the presence of salt and carrots was way too overpowering. All In all it felt like a dinner one could cook at home. It wasn’t an experience. If you do a tasting menu, make it an experience. Especially when it’s for 45£ and when the staff acts so pretentious. Lastly, the terrace. Give it some more life. It deserves more than 6 chairs and two tables. I’ll be coming back with a notepad in a couple months, with a hopefully second chance that results in more positive publications. Thank you

    We had a fantastic three course meal for a very reasonable price. The wine list was extensive, and the service was outstanding. We will be comming back to try out the new menus. Bistro Union had a good vegetarian range in their 3 course option.

    Nice friendly staff and food was OK. But my gripe is the overpriced wine rip-off. £50 for a "bottle" of Macon. The wine arrived and was poured straight into our glasses, it wasn't opened in front of me and there was no label. The waiter told me it was on tap. I can't believe that it was on the wine list as a bottle, and for £50

    One of the only places I’d happily get a regular roast lunch from. Their other dishes are also often delicious and interesting. Good desserts and cocktails. Perhaps a little pricey.
