    Food was great but service was not. We arrived and the hostess let us know there would be a 1 hour and 45 minute limit on the table. We said, fair enough! At an hour in, another person came and said we had a half hour left. We told them that the hostess told us that we had the table for 1 hour and 45 minutes. A third person came to tell us that the table would be needed in 15 minutes. Terrible experience when three different people interrupt your meal within the already short window of time you had to enjoy. Food and ambiance were lovely though!

    We had such a great time here. The couches are cozy, the cocktails were delicious, the Christmas music was perfect, and the holiday decor was festive without being tacky

    You really feel transported to London during Christmas time. The holiday drinks were excellent (hot and cold) I couldn’t recommend this spot enough around Christmas time. The bartenders and servers were also excellent - very kind and helpful staff!

    We had such a lovely evening sitting at the bar. The decor and music were great, just as you’d imagine Christmas in London in the past. We tried 3 different cocktails and loved all of them. The staff was also so lovely, the bartending team was especially great. Would definitely go back!!

    Overall it was GREAT, food and ambience. Charcuterie portion was very light for the price. Steak diane, smoked olives and chips with fresh truffle were amazing!!! Table service was not great.

    Best holiday bar this season. The triple cooked fries and the sticky coffee pudding are to die for! We got a second portion of the pudding since it was so good.
