Food was top class, especially scallops and monkfish. Main fish course very small portion and wine very over priced which is why overall value for money score 3 stars

Everything from the service to the dishes was perfect. Our server Alice was delightful and the pacing of the experience was spot on. John Dory was the highlight but couldn’t fault any dishes. Highly recommend.

Food sublime, if expensive. The signature eggs were unbelievably good. The place is rather stark. I guess the idea is that it is all about the food.

A superb set menu, well executed meal . A very small space for intimate dining . Felt a bit too austere for 31/2 hours of sitting and didn’t understand that there is a supplement for the main course on top of the £85 set menu price - £20 per person for our 230gms of Turbot tail which when you’d removed the tail & bones was probably 85gms of edible fish. Best bit was the squid croquettes with ink mayonnaise .

Fabulous food, wonderfully prepared with exceptional service.
They do however charge an extra £20pp for the ‘main course’ which I found slightly odd on a tasting menu. Maybe this should be more explicit on the website.
Nonetheless we had a fantastic time!

First time to this place, absolutely mind blowingly amazing food. Sit back and enjoy the 3 hour experience. Forget the odd reviews about the decor, its perfect and reflects the modern intellect of the menu. Music was also a perfect choice of modern jazz. The service was also first class as were the selected wines. (as a white wine alternative, go with the Poppy, Pinot Noir)😉.
