    Really great! Atmosphere buzzy, service friendly yet professional, top notch quality food. Loved the room and the high ceilings. Will definitely go back many times and take my friends. After so many disappointing meals in London restaurants in 2024, this was a very welcome experience

    KAVKA vodka is a winner! I had a horseradish shot with my herring. Just right! The food could arrive a bit warmer though.

    It may be very good away from Christmas but…. a pre-concert meal was just okay. The exterior terrace was noisy at 6pm and the place was a bit shambolic. The food was pleasant but not spectacular. I will give it another try but not in the festive season

    The food at the restaurant is good, but the noise level is astronomical. The tables are packed very close together and it is impossible to have a conversation with your dining partners because there is so much loud conversation going on around you. We were really not able to enjoy our meal nor hear each other.

    Fantastic lunch with really flavoursome food. We’re not regular visitors to London so the choice of restaurant was a bit of a punt. But it was a great choice and although very busy the service was great too.
