    Very average food and service. No ambience. Menus had food stains on them. Manager was brusque and verging on rude. Disappointing. Not recommended.

    The food at this restaurant is undeniably good, and the ambiance is pleasant, making it a shame that the overall experience was overshadowed by poor service. Unfortunately, the service was subpar, with the manager in particular displaying an unprofessional and inattentive attitude. Despite our attempts to seek advice on ordering, especially as we were dining with children and wanted recommendations, the manager appeared impatient and kept walking away mid-conversation. This gave the impression that our needs as customers were an inconvenience. Basic requests, such as for cutlery, went unfulfilled, and there were issues with our order—a sea bass dish that was apparently overlooked. Beyond delivering the food, there was little to no support or engagement from the staff. The contrast between the excellent food and beautiful setting and the inadequate service was striking. If the restaurant could address these service shortcomings, it would have the potential to offer a much better overall experience. Until then, it’s hard to fully recommend despite the delicious food.

    Were warmly greeted by owner. Asked for wine recommendations and he let us try a couple first. Very generous. Tried several menu items and all were superb! Such a warm and cozy atmosphere. I never return to the same restaurant when visiting London as I love to try new ones but I honestly will go back here. Highly recommend.

    We have dined here many times and the food, as ever, was excellent. However, this was a very busy Saturday night, with a couple of large parties and I think, because we were in a corner, this affected the service a little. There was no problem with the food service, but it was quite difficult to catch anyone’s eye if we wanted anything else. I think next time, we’d just try to avoid a Saturday.
