    Lunch with a friend on our way to the Albert Hall. Lovely venue. Great ambiance while easy for conversation. We felt we had picked the best in this area. Set menu was great value and good food. Coffee also very good. Feels very Polish.

    I’ve had Polish food all my life, never experienced it prepared and plated in such a fancy way! Food was outstanding and our waiter was very nice, though I did not get his name.

    The restaurant is stunning and the service very good but the food was a let down. The main (Golonka) was cold when it arrived and it was taken back to heat it up but come back just warm and it wasn't as good as you would expect in a good Polish restaurant. My wife is Polish (I am Italian) and we regularly travel to Poland and I had better food in much less pretentious places. My wife had the rabbit and it was not very good also. The wine list could be better. Again, I couldn't fault location, ambience and service but the food was not i would expect in such a place.
