Review of The Beach House Cafe

The Beach House is set in a beautiful location wit...

The Beach House is set in a beautiful location with wondrous views on a sunny day, knowing Portobello I imagine the views are spectacular whatever the weather. The cafe has a lovely atmosphere and bright modern decor, it's comfortable and very pleasant. The menu is pretty basic, but what they do they do very well, the food was excellent and obviously freshly made. The only couple of tiny niggles were that the homemade lemonade was warm, putting a few lumps of ice in it didn't change that and the service was pretty slow. Despite a good number of friendly and polite servers, food just wasn't coming out of the kitchen very fast. They didn't seem particularly busy, there were a few tables empty despite arriving at the height of lunch service. It took almost half an hour from arriving to being served our food, which is a bit long for 2 sandwiches and a panini. It was however delicious, including the small side salad. I can thoroughly recommend The Beach House, they just need to tighten up the service a little.
