    Booked through open table and though the restaurant couldn’t find the booking, we were offered a table for lunch straight away. Fois, wine and service was amazing, as ever!

    The Reading room was one of our favourites but we were very disappointed by the Christmas menu and in particular the blab Turkey main dish to the point of making us rethink whether we want to try this place again

    The restaurant was very quiet and the service was great. Staff very attentive. The food and drinks were good but a bit overpriced for what we had.

    Food wise this is a little gem. Well curated menu, excellent cooking and good presentation. The room is a little bit souless but the quality of the food helps you ignore this - and the noise levels are good so conversation is never a strain for someone who is partially deaf.
