    Dinner The. truffle pasta was divine- rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The panna cotta was the perfect balance of silky and sweet, a true indulgence. Eggy's service was exceptional - attentive, friendly, and made the entire dining experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

    Really great ambience. Had a very helpful host who made the experience very lovely. Besides 2 of the hosts *audibly* whispering about my rear when I was walking down the stairs - it was a great experience.

    This was our second visit, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. We were running late, so called and were told it was no problem—turned up 45 min later than originally planned and were welcomed warmly. Excellent food and drink and service! We will return to this neighbourhood gem.

    Hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt die Vorspeisen waren wirklich sehr gut, die Käseplatte war sehr reichhaltig. Der Service war extrem sympathisch und aufmerksam, hier wird auch gerne mal Wasser nachgeschängt. Zur Hauptspeise gab es Trüffelpasta und Carbonara. Kann ich jeden empfehlen.
    Faros HolbornResponded on 5 January 2025
    Lieber Dirk, Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen sowohl die Vorspeisen als auch die Hauptgerichte gefallen haben. Unsere Käseplatte und die Trüffelpasta sind definitiv Highlights, und wir freuen uns, dass Sie dies genauso erlebt haben! Es ist auch schön zu hören, dass unser Service Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Wir legen großen Wert auf freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung, und es bedeutet uns viel, dass Sie dies zu schätzen wissen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen! Herzliche Grüße, Faros Holborn
