    This is a beautiful restaurant in a historic building in busy central location in Soho. We found the staff friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere fun and buzzy. The drinks we ordered were excellent but took a very long time to arrive. As for food, the menu is quite short which is generally a good sign, but at 7.30 on a Saturday evening we were told that two of the approximately 8 main courses were unavailable. One of these was the only vegetarian dish we which had wanted to order and we were not offered an alternative, only fish. For dessert two of our party were strongly recommended to order an option that after a long wait we were eventually told was also unavailable. Overall we had an enjoyable time, the food was good but not exceptional, only let down by the slow service.
