    Perfect lunch in a cosy setting in the heart of Soho. This is a gem of a restaurant - I found no issues. Staff were welcoming, service was just right and the food was excellent.

    The service we received was exceptional for a central London restaurant. The ambiance is great (loved the disco music) and everyone in the restaurant was happy. They even sang my partner happy birthday. I had the parpadelle and it was delicious! I would definitely go back again.

    First time to the restaurant and we will definitely be returning. Staff were really polite, tables were always cleaned and layed up when guests left. Our table was really well looked after. The food was incredible! Highly recommend

    The staff were very accommodating. We were slightly late and close to the kitchen closing. However, we were seated and given time to select and enjoy our meals.

    Food was excellent and service was solid. Hospitality was not great as we were extremely rushed by the staff. I recognize that we were 15 minutes late, but we assured them that we would still be finished within our allotted two hours. Felt like the only priority was flipping the tables.
