    What a perfect meal! It is such a charming venue with wonderful service and a lovely welcoming staff. Had the scallops to start and it was the best seafood I had while in London. So fresh and such a creamy sauce. Perfect crispy mushrooms on top. Went beautifully with the chenin blanc. Then had a half order of the roast chicken with a glass of Corsica red. Felt like a little Paris neighborhood bistro. I went by myself and felt like an old friend. Many happy small groups there as well.

    Me and my girlfriend took the sausages with mash potatoes, pees and gravy sauce, delicious. The ambient is normal but has a good mood. I'd return there.
