    The food was excellent apart from suqet?( think that's how it's spelt) it was way too salty. The waiter said it's heavy with shellfish that's why. Shellfish is delicious and has a fresh taste. It doesn't make a dish salty... , just accept what the customer has experienced instead of condescending incorrect advice.

    Very tasty and well-presented food, but glad we didn’t order as much as we were advised we would need. All served at good intervals and there was no rush on the return of the table.  We all agreed the wine was very expensive so we chose the house white, which was disappointingly thin and served from an unmarked and open bottle. (Needs to be more choice at the under £50 a bottle end!)

    The food was lovely but we were repeatedly told about the 2 hour time limit for our table, rushed to order our food and we were given our bill before our desert arrived. I didn’t appreciate being rushed out of the restaurant when we had spent a lot of money.

    I went with a friend. We both felt the service was excellent but that the main course portions inadequate. Simply plating the dish without a choice of vegetables or rice or potatoes (or the option to have them) may appear fashionable but when one is left feeling hungry then the restaurant has failed. Given the pricing levels and market positioning that Western has chosen they need to do better. We would not go again.

    Our favourite place in Islington. Manages to be both elegant and relaxed. The food is always top notch, they create innovative flavour combinations using the finest ingredients. Their staff are super lovely and very knowledgeable. We always come away feeling uplifted.
