Our fourth visit to the Wine Place as we love to visit every time we come to London. In a great spot in the plaza to watch live performers (unfortunately we were too late this time so noted for the future!). Super friendly service and they are always very kind to my son, who also loves the food here. We booked an outside table beforehand. Good choices on the menu - we enjoyed the Parmesan lollipops and bruschetta to start followed by the baked Camembert and a hot pepperoni pizza. Everything was delicious. Prices are very fair, considering the location. We will return! Thank you
