My first visit to this branch since it reopened and it did not disappoint. Charming friendly staff and first class seafood. One of the waiting staff recognised me from the Soho branch where I was a regular, impressive.

A warm welcome, delicious food, fish was very good as expected, and a quality wine selection, but wasn’t expecting such a good dessert … pleasantly surprised. Perfect date night place to go, we look forward to returning with friends.

Excellent food as always but rather surprised the loud diner near me was allowed a dog on his lap particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
