    Professional service from start to finish. A glass of Prosecco was a welcome start to the fixed price meal. Carefully prepared dishes were focussed and precise. The veloute was creamy, the pork belly was succulent but not fatty, the venison was tender and pink. Four (different) puddings were idiosyncratic and delicious. The wine list is comprehensive and an Australian Chardonnay was ripe, fruity and good value. Coffee came with petit fours.

    Had an excellent lunch here today. Very welcoming and helpful receptionist. Service by Sebastian was excellent. He was very friendly, attentive and helpful too. And always checking on us that everything was ok, as two other staff members did too, very nice, to make sure all is ok. The Winter Set Lunch Menu was absolutely delicious. There was a great choice of drinks available too. My partner had the lovely Malbec and I had the lovely ginger beer. For starters, my partner had the Prawn Chicharron and said it was very tasty. My medium rump beef for the main course was very succulent and tasty. Lovely chips to go with it, although my bowl of chips was slightly on the salty side for me, whereas my partner's bowl was not, so I wondered if the chef put double salt on my bowl in error. Despite that, we had the lovely chimichurri sauce to go with the meal and Sebastian even gave us a small jug of mushroom sauce to try as he said it was our first time visiting there, which was a lovely surprise and so nice and thoughtful! I had the Dulce De Leche Pancake for dessert. Oh my, this was so good, with lots of nuts and tasty banana split ice cream. Will definitely return, as the restaurant had a very nice ambiance too, and music was nice and quiet. Sebastian even joked with us and said we could come back tonight or tomorrow even. Such a lovely waiter.

    Tea at the NoMad was incredible. The tea room was beautiful and the presentation and food were excellent. All of the staff were very very nice and when I said how much I loved the cucumber sandwiches they brought me two extra! I highly recommend high tea here.
