Very nice restaurant, the staff are very attentive without being pushy and very nice not to feel rushed. Food as always very good. We only visit once a year on a special occasion and very much look forward to our visits.

Bar staff inattentive, ages to get a cocktail, 15 minutes late to table as restaurant staff unable to locate us(!), once shown to table, it was not properly dressed for dinner, further delaying our meal. Scallop starters were lukewarm and tasteless, the lamb mains were extremely fatty with little meat. Table service very poor, table not properly cleared after courses, sides not served at same time as mains. A classic case of a pretentious eaterie resting on its’ laurels. Once an enjoyable and fun experience, sadly no longer the case.

Excellent Sunday lunch, we were a group of 8 which didn't poise a problem to our excellent waiter. Our food arrived fresh and hot, and our glasses were kept topped up. We all had a very enjoyable lunch.

Lovely live jazz and blues music. Great ambiance. Staff were friendly and attentive. Had the chateaubriand for two and it was the best steak we've ever had. Five star experience.

I haven't answered the question as to whether I would recommend this restaurant as I'm not sure I would - the service was very poor. We were taken to our table straightaway but it was a good 10 minutes before we could attract anyones attention to take a drinks order. The food was mixed - two of the four of us enjoyed their meal, two didn't - very tough spatchcock pouissin! As to the 'value' question - the prices are ok, IF the food is prepared well! It is a very glamourous venue and lovely for a special occasion if you like buzzy places with reasonably loud music playing, but they definitely need to sort out the service. Perhaps we were just there on a bad night!
