Dealt with a small issue generously and efficiently, extremely good service. Christina ( I hope I have this right) couldn't do enough for us, and this included our lovely waiter from Peru too. I'm never disappointed with the warm service here. Delicious risotto : top drawer all round, thank you all

Lovely restaurant, food and wine good. Could improve on comfort of seating and £6 for a bottle of water is disappointing. Good location.
