    We went for the set menu which was tasty. Service was friendly, although some need to learn to operate the cleaning spray and a bit of etiquette. Overall it was good and we will be back.

    We had a great lunch and even though my guest was almost 25 minutes late we weren’t rushed at all. It was my guest’s birthday and the restaurant provided a celebratory cake complete with candle. Would definitely be going back for another margarita!

    Starters were fine but arrived very quickly, before our drinks. Steak tartare was poor, no capers or gherkins and very little seasoning- chips were good

    So disappointing. Rude hostess - terrible table next to serving station with a pillar in the middle of a round table so we could hardly see each other. Toilets is poor condition, smelt and no toilet paper etc!

    Lovely food- the prix fixe was fabulous. We had 2 courses. Very, very noisy. Great staff & service but we had to wait for the bill after we asked for one. We are in the middle of London Theatre district, yes we did have a show to get too. Would go again.
