The Standard’s critic comes to a view very different from Time Out’s five-star review last week of this relaunched gastropub. He kicks off by naming three “silly tricks” pf contemporary restaurants (artily illegible menus, bowls for plates, wine classification by type) , of all of which the establishment is guilty.

5/5 stars
The crtic finds plent of “finesse” on display in the “smart” dining room of this relaunched Shoreditch boozer. Everything is done consistently well, but it still isn’t abolutely clear – at least to us – why this is a five-star review overall.
