Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Elior @ 5th Floor Waterstones is that fancy cafeteria experience where you pay for the view but get a side of disappointment with your avocado toast. Claire Small found it peaceful for a working lunch, and Chloe Edwards enjoyed a killer Espresso Martini, but others aren't so forgiving. Iain Forsyth reminisces about when this place felt special, now it just feels like a cheap knockoff of its former self. Lisa San MartΓn and tina johnston highlight the awkward decor and overpriced drinks that leave you feeling like you could've just stayed at home.
If you want to sip cocktails with a nice view, thatβs cool. But if youβre after food that'll knock your socks off, you might want to keep looking.
"Very peaceful spot with comfy seating and a broad menu."
"Delicious Espresso Martinis and a view to die for."
"This is a hidden gem."
Elior @ 5th Floor Waterstones, LONDON β Food Hygiene Rating: 5/5
