    Really, really happy with the venue, the service and above all the food and drink. The vodka flavoured with caraway and dill was delicious. The portions are large so unless you are very hungry (and I mean very hungry) I would suggest sharing a starter and having the main course. The four of us shared marinated herrings and a a stuffed perogi with cheese and potato, and then we tucked into what is heaven - chicken livers. Fabulous We also had a bottle of Georgian red wine to wash it down, terrific. No room for dessert. The service is so friendly including the person taking our coats as soon as we got through the door, and then the waitresses who noticed that my wife's purse / bag had slipped off the back of the chair and could have been stepped on, or worse. You have to book, though.

    We went for lunch and it was a great experience. The food was amazing - really good quality and priced at an affordable level. The service was excellent and sitting in the conservatory on a cold winters day was magical. Can’t fault it - we will be going back soon!

    Excellent lunch for three. Food was very good, the waiter was on top form and the experience was very enjoyable. The temperature in the room did fluctuate and was occasionally too warm but that’s a small niggle. Will go again.

    Holiday season starting, very crowded and consequently noisy. Not so on previous visits. Food and service excellent, as usual, and prices very reasonable.
