    They will, on request, do a mean Bloody Mary with Gin & Cucumber! Ask very politely and enjoy!

    Food is not good just average. Went with the chicken supreme, fries, haddock and the croquetas as a starter. The only thing tasty the croquetas. Maybe the coctails are good. Slow service.

    The cauliflower dish lacked a bit of flavour although it was a good idea

    Half nightclub half restaurant. Trendy, but complicated. Do NOT get the calamari. But do get the duck spring roles.

    £12 for pre cooked and heated up venison sausages and mash!! I gave this place 3 chances and it failed 3 tines! Definitely my last time here better having a kebab from the corner

    Balans gives me one more thing to look forward to for the fall: Duck confit with parsnip mash is back!

    Lovely food and great service, but ask for your bill to come without the 10% service charge, it is optional. I refuse to pay extra for service, so just knock it off.

    The only place in central London where you can eat decent food 24/7. Burguer is good.

    The burger was ok, definitely not for £11.95. The fries; average! Service fast, almost rude... There is very fine line between cleve and clever dick. A very average 4/10 like your food & service

    Food seems to have gone downhill a little lately. The cob salad is essentially a bowl of lettuce. The rib eye steak is probably your best bet. Skip desert.

    When this was plain ordinary Balans it was fine. Now very much less sure about the ambience.

    If any place in london that will take your money it's this place - what a ripoff for the average menu and paying double for nothing - will not be visiting the anytime soon

    The yoghurt and fruit concoction is hideous and the piña colada was horrid! The food altogether was a mess!

    Terrible service twice now! Always comes down to inaccurate bills too. Today, to top it off, I'm told I can't use the 2-4-1 breakfast offer to cover the extra sausage and bacon they wrongly added!

    A very kind waiter warned me about the £15 gin and tonic. Beware! Order two pornstar martinis instead.

    Uncomfortable seats, crowded but worst of all, the tea was weak and the handles on the tea cups too small to hold properly. A cup of tea! Fundamental! The staff were nice though.
