Everything was lovely: service, espresso martinis and our pre-show nibbles. Ambience and noise impacted by unsupervised / not properly supervised young children at the table behind us - totally outside the remit of the restaurant staff, though, and there's no doubt that next time Barre would get a perfect score from our party. Thank you!

Thank goodness Miss Pearl is now running this restaurant next to Southbank Theatre. Smart service understanding of ti.e constraints. Excellent food - we enjoyed the crispy eggplant, the roast chicken and the fish curry. Perfect for 3 and all delicious. Wine and coffee and out in time to take our seats for the show.

We had The Blush and Bloom High Tea. Very colourful and nicely presented. Service was attentive and friendly. The only downside was too many sweets and would prefer more savoury for my palette. Also most High Teas do include a bubbles. The teas were flavoured nicely.
