    Have eaten there before, but I think standards have dropped slightly. Food was served quite cold and there was a mixup with orders.

    Steak fires were very good. Dining room was a bit noisy for conversation but we’d definitely go back

    Excellent as always I choose Cheese souffle which was amazing followed by Ray Wing with capers and a beautiful buttery apple pie with clotted cream and a well priced bottle of Lugana. If you like fish this for me is the best fish restaurant in London and steeped in so much history the staff are always so pleasant

    Good food and service for a last minute choice just before theatre. Expensive but good enough to justify the prices
