    Excellent food and drinks, service and ambience. It's always a risk to revisit after a memorable first experience, would it live up to expectations. We were delighted once again by the culinary skill and welcoming and attentive staff. We will be visiting again in the near future. One of the best dining experiences in London, you won't be disappointed.

    Diners are served excellent food and fine wines in spacious and delightful surroundings. Each diner is made to feel very welcome. The dining area is light and airy in the daytime and cosy and intimate when it is dark. The service is always outstanding. My wife and I like to think that we are discriminating when it comes to choosing somewhere special to dine. We come back again and again. We would not do so if we were not satisfied both with what we receive and what we are asked to pay. Guests, when they come with us, always enjoy the experience.

    A refreshingly unique menu with original flavour combinations and dishes from far off lands, accompanied by an exciting menu of natural Eastern European wines (the Ukrainian sparkling rose is nicer than any pink cava or Prosecco Ive tasted - i.e not sweet!). Service was friendly attentive and genuine, in a restaurant that felt like a home.
