We eat at 169 quite regularly and it's consistently good. The menu is varied and fresh - lots of lovely healthy options, as well as a delicious brunch menu and excellent Bloody Marys. The staff are welcoming and friendly, and the food is reasonably priced.

Overall the food was on. Nothing special but an ok brunch. The experience was very bad. Very slow service. When we asked the waitress after 15 mins of waiting for one extra coffee, her response was ‘today’s key word is patience’. When I’m paying 25 dollars for eggs, this is unacceptable (in general, unacceptable service even if I was paying 5$)
