    Exceptional service, interesting dishes, fantastic ambience, great location. Nothing that really blew me away amd I’m not sure I could say the value is there considering their tasting menu is priced on par with 3 starred restaurants but our waiter Jutin more than made up for it.

    What an evening! The service was off the charts! The food was divine. The wine was fantastic. We ordered the 8 course tasting with the chicken as extra. We were in food comas until the next day. However everything was insanely amazing.

    Excellent food Great attention to detail Enthusiastic staff Location great I would recommend slightly slower service - or ask the guests Disappointing to sit near some young Asians who seemed to have no interest in the food, treated the front of house staff with disdain and spent most of the evening going to the toilet in groups or instagramming photos of themselves. It didn’t spoil our evening but so disrespectful to the restaurant and other diners

    Truly the best pastry and bread in London ! I would say even better than in France ! And I am not a bread person !! So well deserved - compliments to the pastry chef ! 10 out of 10! Well balanced set menu and deliciously executed food. We were concerned regarding 7 dishes set meal, as we usually do not eat much, however size of the portions and balanced combination of all Ingredients - left us pleasantly full without extra heavy feeling. Overall- so far - for us , personally, the best Michelin starred restaurant in London. And we have been to many.
