    In my opinion, possibly the best classic cuisine restaurant in London. Impeccable service that is highly attentive but never in your face. Service that adapts to you and reads your needs. The food is superbly executed and presentation is like a work of art. The value is good, and the £15 corkage fee at lunch makes it very very good value indeed, especially if you are partial to a more expensive bottle of wine or champagne. Been a few times and will go many more. It's over an hour for us to get there but boy is it worth it.

    Excellent service, highly professional but also judged perfectly, friendly, welcoming and did everything to make our dinner special and memorable. A lovely meal, and our table of five had a wonderful evening and look forward to returning.

    We went for a small celebration. We took a couple of contrasting bottles of our own wine . The service was splendid. Without fuss the right bottle was decanted and we were offered the right glasses which makes such a difference imo. Sometimes “corkage” charges can seem like a consolation prize for the restaurant. But here they take wine service as seriously as the food. The mallard was exemplary. Well plated with a good selection of seasonal vegetables for balance. Unmissable fries with spot-on Bernaise to drag them through. Excellent cheese board. And a tarte tatin made with excellent flaky pastry and thickly cut well caramelised apples. Truly a great meal.
