   We were a large group, which is never easy to serve in a busy restaurant. We waited far too long for two starters out of 11 everyone else had eaten theirs by the time the two arrived. There was an overly long pause between starters and main courses. The waitress was good and did listen to our concerns which was so appreciated. The food tasted delicious. The atmosphere is great except we were a little cold, however once we mentioned that we were cold the heating was turned on, which really helped.

   Lovely lunch - service was attentive but discreet, just the right amount. Food was delicious. Does seem to be at the top end of pricing but it is the perfect place for a special treat.

   Lovely meal to celebrate a big birthday. All excellent delicious food, service was attentive but not intrusive, beautiful setting. Team brought an additional birthday dessert with a candle, unprompted by us, for the birthday boy.

   Lovely evening - a shockingly cold night but cosy inside the restaurant. We enjoyed cocktails, starter and main. Everything was delicious and lots of choice. Great ambience and the staff were great.

   A friend and I went to Gees for the first time. While we liked the ambiance, the noise level made it almost impossible to conduct a conversation. In large part, this has to do with the nature of the space - nothing to absorb sound - and tables shoved too close together exacerbate the problem. The food is good, but I did not think it was worth what we paid. My friend reported that her monkfish was "fine" (i.e., not excellent), which was the case with my cassoulet. Fine but not great: the pork belly was a bit overcooked and dry, and the dish definitely required more seasoning. It was overly bland. We did enjoy very much the fried zucchini as a shared appetizer, and the wine selection is quite nice. On the positive side, service is excellent, and food comes out of the kitchen piping hot and nicely presented. I do, however, think the cooking could be better, especially given the London prices.

   Thank you for taking the time to leave this informative and insightful review. I am delighted to see that you enjoyed the ambience and presentation of the meal. Please note that we do benefit from our wonderful bar tables which are much quieter that the main glasshouse, as well as our beautifully decorated terrace in the warmer months that is also much more peaceful. We also do appreciate your feedback regarding the quality of the food and have informed our chefs of this for our continued improvement. Kind Regards, Roxy - Restaurant Manager

   Our meal to celebrate a significant birthday was enjoyed by all. The service was very good, food was delicious. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion or just a meal out with friends

    Delicious food and relaxed ambience. Very much enjoyed the fresh oysters to start and black spaghetti for main, with partner enjoying the ribeye steak. Lemon soufflé also highly recommended. Will definitely be back soon to sample the rest of the menu!
