Fantastic atmosphere and lovely service. The food was interesting and seasonal. Great wine choices, but the costs of the wine go up quite steeply quite quickly. It would be great if they had a few less expensive bottles to that it would make it a bit more reasonable for a mid week dinner.

Amazing food with quality cocktails and friendly, attentive service. This was one of the best meals I’ve had in London. The pork chop was the highlight. This is a great sharing menu overall. The small plates portions are generous for the quality of ingredients and price points.

Unusual selection of small plates, all of which were great. Certainly interesting and very tasty. Service was excellent, and good choice of wines. Will be returning.
