Cornerstone by Chef Tom Brown 3 Prince Edward Road, London E9 5NP

"My kind of place for a treat. Relaxed atmosphere, top notch food, an open kitchen and attentive service. We had the set menu and every plate we had was delicious: well cooked, thoughtful and inventive. Standout for me was the Gurnard, others in the party loved the oysters, and we were all pleasantly surprised by the dessert (a rhubarb number) that was a delight. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"Went here for birthday dinner and was a triumph! Wonderful tasting menu, from the crab oil with the starter bread to the biscuits with the bill. Particular highlight was the Kiev (secret is to deep-fry anything and fill it with butter….). Service was friendly and atmosphere really chilled. Thoroughly recommend."

"I have no words. This was great. The staff was great. The food was fantastic. It's such a nice and relaxed atmosphere and it's honestly just too good. We had the tasting menu and it was just an incredible experience. The plates were little works of art."

"We loved this place! Because I am pregnant I asked them to change a few bits of the menu and they were so kind to adjust to what I wanted and provided delicious alternatives like the cooked scallop. My husband loved the oysters and he doesn’t even like oysters usually! My favourite was the hake Kiev. The staff are lovely. Highly recommend."

"What a feast! The sharing menu is really well priced (£65 per person) and gives a great representation of the culinary artistry of the chefs and the open kitchen lets you watch them at work too! The highlights for me were the trout pastrami and the wild black bream tartar which comes with a raw egg yolk (as a true tartar should!) but all the dishes are so well balanced and so complementary the whole meal flows beautifully (and you get two desserts! Absolute treat) Restaurant itself is simple and has a laid back cool vibe about it without a pretentious tone one could expect from an East 'hipster' London location with the coveted star. Thanks to the neutral feels it's just as good for a romantic dinner date as it is for a foodie bunch of friends catch up over wine. Will definitely be back for more :)"
