   Overall enjoyed the experience but as this was named one of the most affordable Michelin star restaurants in London the recent price hike took a hit on the value for money.

   Food was extremely flavoursome. A couple of dishes were not to our personal taste. It was a little bizarre that as we ate each treat from the kitchen the associated crockery was cleared which meant this was done whilst we were eating and just relaxing at our table. I’ve never seen so many staff in an establishment that size, suffice to say they were extremely attentive although I’d rather not be chaperoned to the restrooms(?) Overall a lovely experience and happy to have done it.

   Every aspects was impeccable, from the moment you sat down to the service and of course the food. Visiting just once is simple not enough.

   A fantastic and awesome experience. Expectations were high, the reality even better. The food was brilliant - ingenious, full of complex flavours, wonderful on the eye. So creative. The staff were amazing - first class service, so caring, so well informed, just 5 star. The chefs were also amazing under the watchful eye of Johnny, Nick was professionalism incarnate and so young. The teamwork was like watching a ballet, poetry in motion. We will be back. Reputation fully justified in our humble opinion.
