Lovely service from Gloria and expertly crafted cocktail—the mezcal martini was a standout. The food had a beautiful balance of flavours, leaving me satisfied without feeling overly full. The Celeriac Pastrami was a highlight—lovely and creamy, making for a fantastic vegan option. A delightful experience overall!

Risotto undercooked, explained at the time but not taken off bill. Pointless langoustines in a difficult to eat pot pork dish. Starters were nice but the standard has gone hugely downhill in the last year. Nice drinks but not worth anywhere near £250 for 2 people."

Seating was not comfortable. I don’t understand why restaurants’ use small sofas rather than chairs. We we also squeezed onto a table which would be comfortable for 4, it didn’t really work for 5! Food was good, but the above meant we left feeling the experience could have been much better.

Very pleasant service, nice food, interesting wine list (who knew they make blaufrankisch in eastern LI?). We picked at random and it was a good choice after a sad funeral
