"If you’re partial to a glass of vermouth, this Anthony Demetre all‑day café and bar is a must, celebrating all things Vermouth and offering a short menu of dishes styled to match." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"A recently opened venue at Coal Drops Yard from the same owner, it focuses on an on-trend spirit with an all-day, adaptable offering and was promoted as “the first” in its announcement; still in the infancy of a possible roll-out, it may shed light on the owner’s broader business strategy and perhaps his motives for selling or restructuring other ventures." - James Hansen
"A must for Vermouth lovers, this all-day café and bar from Anthony Demetre celebrates all things Vermouth and pairs the pours with a short menu of dishes styled to match." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
"A newly opened venue at Coal Drops Yard from Demetre focuses on vermouth — described as a very on-trend spirit — and offers an all-day, adaptable menu. Its launch was billed as “the first,” indicating it is in the infancy of a possible roll-out and offering a possible rationale for the decision to sell the longstanding flagship." - Adam Coghlan
"A new bar-restaurant at Coal Drops Yard showing clear culinary pedigree but hamstrung by teething practicalities: food can be painfully slow to arrive (reports of two-hour waits after many supplications), yet when it does there are encouraging moments — a well-made, homespun ribollita and a grilled quail with white beans and girolles that evoke the cook’s previous strengths. The operation’s single oven and limited induction hobs create real constraints, meaning the promise is visible but at risk of being undercut by sheer logistical limitations." - George Reynolds
