    The food was good but not amazing. I personally prefer 10 Cases which is a French restaurant around the corner that is better value.

    Great people watching at the window seats. Food was exceptionally tasty. I had the rotisserie chicken which comes with fries and salad plus we had the bread service. All of it was really delicious. My husband had the pork chops and loved them. Service was great and ambiance was modern and lovely. Would definitely recommend. So glad we made this our first dinner on our visit from NYC.

    Outstanding service - staff were welcoming, charming and knowledgable. Food - quality but not ostentatious. Starters were two of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten (snail bolognese and English carbonara; both rich and full of flavour. Mains were good (chicken and fish) but overshadowed by the starters. Cocktails were also top class (ginger snapper and classic margarita). Ambience was perfect - low light, low tasteful music, romantic and cool. Expensive meal but would have paid double for the starters, so evens out! Will recommend to everyone.
