Booked a table for 6. On arrival offered an entertainment room upstairs where it was lounge seating and you could play your own music. It was fun but with hindsight we missed out on a restaurant vibe and there was live music downstairs too. Good was really good but it thought it was expensive. Great location as we were heading to NHM after for silent disco.

We were a family party, young to old. Our waitress was friendly, kind and helpful and we genuinely felt very welcome. The food was fresh and tasty, the cocktails excellent (perfect whisky sour!). Decor is beautiful everywhere and we all enjoyed a very relaxed lunch and agreed the place was just right. For me it ticks all the boxes and has an unrushed, easy-going atmosphere. Sadly none of us live in London, however when we visit the area it will definitely be our first choice.
