Simply put- outstanding!! Wow! An incredible experience with not only unbelievable food but impeccable service. The restaurant is lovely and fresh with high end decor and tables are well spaced. The food is served like works of art and tastes just as good. The Irish Coffee I ordered at the end of the meal was amazing and delivered with great theatre. Cannot think of a negative at all- simply brilliant!

Excellent food and drinks, service and ambience. It's always a risk to revisit after a memorable first experience, would it live up to expectations. We were delighted once again by the culinary skill and welcoming and attentive staff. We will be visiting again in the near future. One of the best dining experiences in London, you won't be disappointed.
