My wife and I were staying at the Westin London City next door and we're lucky enough to come across the gem of a restaurant. What a find! Excellent wine, delicious appetizer, wonderful, perfectly cooked steak meal, cheese platter to end. Oh my gosh. We couldn't be more pleased. If we can squeeze in one more visit while we are in London we will do it. I wish we lived here! I highly recommend it.
