Great staff and ambiance! We had a lovely dinner and place was not crowded like when restaurants set tables 5cms from each other ;)

Servers/wait staff were absolutely lovely- food (a Christmas Eve dinner for us) was perfect- delicious. Adorable Richmond/old London ambience.

Absolutely lovely time having lunch here for husbands birthday. Service and staff were exceptional and really paid special attention and care to detail to ensure we had a nice time.

Good as always was lovely 🥰 very enjoyable evening
