    Excellent food in very pleasant surroundings. Service very good, and the staff managed my wife's dietary issues very well (particular thanks to our waitress, who was a young lady from Iran.) It was quite expensive, but this might well be 'normal for London'.

    It was very good with good service. Limited menu options but I suppose that means the food is always fresh. Good service, music from the speaker was abit loud but it was overall a good experience.

    We had a lovely Sunday Roast experience on a Sunday of course! Very polite and good service. The food was very good and the aged prime rib was wonderful. Lovely setting and dining ambience.

    We had a lovely meal here last night. The food was good quality, the noise levels quiet which was ideal. The stand out part of the evening though was the service - the staff were very friendly and attentive and made sure our evening was great. Thank you for a lovely meal and experience.

    Started with the cured salmon, was amazing, high quality cured salmon that they didn’t have to over prepare. I had the lamb chops and wife had Sea Bass. Lamb chops were probably the best prepared lamb chops I’ve had in years, and it’s something I order regularly, wife agreed. And her Seabass was great, she would only share a small bite.
