    We went for the Hennessy XO experience and it truly made us fall in love with this amazing cognac all over again. Michael, Angel and the team made sure we felt very special and lucky indeed.

    This is our favourite bar in London, we go there purely for the cocktails but sometimes we will have a bowl of fries or some small plates. It is truly lovely. The staff, pianist and ambience is simply the best. We never needed to book historically but you do now so do it so you are not disappointed.

    Great lunch deal for £35. Delicious club sandwich and beautiful crispy fries. A very good sized portion as well. Good to have not just g&t drinks choice, so I had a white wine. The only thing I would change about the lunch deal is the bottle of water. I usually only have tap water anyway so didn’t really need the bottle and it would’ve been great to have a choice of tea, coffee or hot chocolate instead.
