Very nice except being told to leave our table before our meal was finished, 15 minutes before the end of our allocated time. Had to show proof before the staff relented on this point.

I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

We just had a quick dinner - a main course each and it was as good as ever. The Tuesday Steak Frites at £19.50 is very good value and the mushroom risotto was lovely.
