My son and two friends went for his birthday. I wrote on the booking form it was his birthday and it was so funny to get a video message with everyone singing to him with a candle in his pudding. They had a great time, so thank you!

I never write a review however, being celiac, as well as my daughter and dairy free, this restaurant excellent flavors the food was phenomenal. The service was even phenomenal. My daughter and I are also allergic to shellfish and they made sure everything was allergy friendly. This is one of our first restaurants in London, where we didn’t have any cross-contamination and did not feel sick after our meal. Highly recommend if you have celiac disease.
