    Very good food and wine. All very good, prices for food on the steeper side despite the high quality.

    We recently dined at this establishment and encountered an issue with our wine bill. We selected bottles listed at £54 each on the wine list provided to us, which also matched the prices on their online menu. However, we were charged £62 each based on a different wine menu that we were never shown. This discrepancy was quite frustrating, as we expected to be charged according to the menu we chose from. I hope this feedback helps improve their communication and transparency regarding pricing in the future.

    Virtually nothing menu is vegetarian (except cheese) and wine is insanely over priced.

    We have been to this venue about five times over the past two years and it's always excellent. It's very small but the ambience is perfect if you like a cosy bistro with lots of chatter from other guests. The last time we went it was the best yet, every dish was outstanding! The head chef was away apparently so the sous chef was in charge and totally knocked it out of the park. Go Magda! I would highly recommend this place and hope it continues on its journey of excellence.

    We enjoyed a super relaxed lunch on Sunday. The food was amazing as were the wines. Then the service, well… all three of our servers were brilliant, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about wine. What lovely humans too. Thank you Laura, Isla and Louis for making our day fun and special.

    All lovely. The reason we haven’t given it 5 stars is the size of the tables and how close together they are.

    I love this place and have been coming for several years now. Last time I was there a couple of weeks ago, I had a blast and spent over 4 hours with friends enjoying lovely wine / food and a great server! Unfortunately when I went back last night (with a friend who had never been), whilst the ambience, food and wine were good, the service was terrible. The 2 waitresses were rude and obnoxious throughout the evening. I live and work in London - have done for 16 yrs & poor service, given the extortionate prices we all pay to enjoy the luxury of dining out is not acceptable, especially when you whack 12-15% on bills for the pleasure.
