   General pub fayre like burgers and half a chicken with a small taps/dim sum type offering. Everything was done well but wasn't "special", hence the not outstanding. Convenient location, attentive staff.

   Food was great, however my friend ordered an expresso. The amount just about came up to the bottom of the handle. Not worth the price

   Waiter was trying and would need to be prompted for specific utensils appropriate for the meals ordered and where honey was missing from the pot of ginger and honey tea. His saving grace was that he was honest and alert to bring our mobile phone to us outside when I mistakenly left it at the dining table. Although the opulent restaurant is established at a convenient location in Central London, it is sadly surrounded by construction, beggars and poor lighting. Meals were not genuinely tasty or could be justified as authentic ingredients and high international standards. Generally found the meals were overpriced, Drinks were good

   I booked a table pre theatre trip for my mums 70th birthday. When booking I let them know this in the comments box. When we arrived they had put balloons on the table and at the end of the meal came over to sing happy birthday with a dessert and sparkler. It was a lovely touch without being asked to do this. Food was lovely with a good selection to choose from, great service from all the staff including front of house.

   Dear Melanie, Thank you for sharing such a heart warming review! I am absolutely delighted that we could be part of your mum's 70th birthday celebration and that the little touches like the balloons and birthday dessert added to your special occasion. It's always a pleasure to surprise our guests, and I am so happy that you enjoyed the food and service from my team, including front of house. We all hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable visit, whether it’s for a special celebration or just a lovely meal. many thanks, Karen Lee

   Such a shame we was told there would be live music on Thursdays, hence why we booked a Thursday! But apparently that isn’t the case! The service wasn’t great, drinks took a long time to come, and to clear our table from started and mains took ages as it seemed like no one wanted to be the ones to clear it! The atmosphere was very quiet.

   Pleasant discovery so close to Victoria station. Good ambience, tables well separated and private. Service was very good - sharp, attentive and polite. Food - good wide ranging menu - all dishes delivered were very good and competent, if not wow, and food well presented. Little to fault and much to praise.

    We all had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s 30th birthday. The service and food was fantastic and such good value for money. Our waiter Roberto was great and so helpful. Definitely would recommend to anyone and would love to go again.
