Having walked past this restaurant for decades and always long to go in I was not disappointed. It still has the feel of Soho in the last century but with delicious modern food and a relaxed atmosphere with attentive but not intrusive staff. The drinks in particular are exceedingly good value and the food was perfect – not too fussy but interesting and just slightly more complicated than you’d ever make it home so a real treat to have out. We were delighted with the whole experience.

Great food. Belly ribs and porterhouse were outstanding. Sides were delicious, though portions could be more generous for the price. The buttered greens were quite small for £6. Service was very warm and welcoming. Only feedback is regarding unavailable menu items. We tried to order several dishes that weren't available. It would be great if we got a rundown of everything unavailable as we were being seated so we could exclude them from our decision.
