    Quality restaurant. Great food. I am often made to feel odd for liking my steak well done and usually they come cremated but not here. I asked for my steak well done (no pink). When it arrived it was slightly pink but staff were fantastic and remedied the situation without making me feel uncomfortable or destroying the steak. it is really worth it for the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff members. By far the best restaurant we found in London.

    Very quiet the evening we decided to eat. Asked if the bartender could put on some music to cut through the silence. Salad starter was nicely presented, fresh and tasty. My wife’s main course (filet) was cooked to order and delicious according to her. Unfortunately, my chicken main was a little dried out but the balance of the meal was very good. Portions were adequate. Overall good experience.
