  I'm not in the habit of leaving reviews but I want to write how much I love this venue and show my appreciation for the people who keep it running constantly to such a high standard. Even if it is cold outside, the warm atmosphere and thriving plants on the covered CLF rooftop makes it feel like the sun is shining. This is especially true when the Latin Jazz Brunch is on. The Dominican food is lovingly cooked and is always delicious, there's a wide cocktail menu and just watching the staff make them with charisma and flair will help shake away any angst of everyday life. Yesterday, Roberto Pla played with his 19 piece band. It's always so great to see quality live music but in particular, a band made up of young and older musicians alike; respected musicians of mixed genders and races playing to an audience of an equally broad demographic. It's a venue where everyone is made to feel welcome, with events/programming that make local communities feel seen. This is also the kind of gig musicians care about, where we invite our friends, family, dogs and people we want be be close to. The mountain of food, drinks and warm hospitality from staff, in particular Seb (who has the patience of a saint) also helps. The programming features musicians who have decades of experience on the London and international music scene, alongside nights that focus on exciting, young/new jazz artists, often female led. All events I have been to have been of a high standard and it's common to see the same musicians here for free (or a minimal entry fee) that you would pay a premium for at Ronnie Scott's or main stages at major music festivals. Thank you, CLF and all of the team and community behind it.

  Have had a positive experience last time I came here. Unfortunately tonight there was barely any actual meat on the bones of the chicken, and we paid £14 for crispy batter. After highlighting this to the manager, no compensation was offered, only "sorry about the chicken". One experience like this and a venue gets red listed for me. Won't be returning.

  I live locally in peckham and booked a table for 10:45pm saturday just gone as booked the cinema across the road to watch the Rye Lane movie we got to CLF at 10:35 seated upstairs on the rooftop area. Tried to order food as thats what i put in my booking only to be told the kitchen closed 5minutes ago at 10:30 even though it says 11pm on the booking site so was rather dissapointed in that as me and my wife could only stay for 1 drink as has to scurry off at 11pm to find somewhere to eat as was hungry before everywhere shut even though we booked and intended to stay untill 1am. The cocktails was very delicious though i must say ie Peckham Punch and the Daqolada with the extra Koko Kanu and the music was cool with the DJ. Would of loved to of tried more cocktails plus the dominican food but you guys closed your kitchen earlier than advertised.

  Great food, but the service was not great. Took my mum there for a late mother's day treat. When we got there the table still had all the mess from the previous party. The staff took away the menus because they were all dirty and said they would come back with more. They never returned, and my mum and I were just left there. Staff also ignored us when we tried to get their attention.
