    So it was 5 stars all around. The service was probably 5.5 stars even thought the waiters were Italian not French but for me good service is attentive at all time while not being intrusive. My wife had one cocktail with the meal and wash tentative in ordering and the waiter watached observantly and when she was not drinking came and asked if everything was OK and she said she would have liked it a little more sweet than sour so he took it away and adjusted. Happy wife happy life as they say.

    Booked 100 Wardour Street for a birthday dinner with friends. Amazing staff, amazing service and lovely food. It was so lovely to not be rushed off our table like so many restaurants do in December, and the set menu was delicious. They brought everything to our table with a good time in between without feeling like they were in a hurry to get rid of us. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back! Great love entertainment too!
