    Having visited the Nomad restaurant previously I was keen to see the new improvements and rebranded Twenty8 restaurant. It’s such a good location in the heart of Covent Garden. The room now has a lovely light and airy feel in the daylight and turns ambient and romantic later in the evening. There is a DJ on a Friday/Saturday, it added a fun vibe not hardcore pulsing music just nice background tunes. The food was really good, reluctant to say improved as enjoyed it before but had stepped up a notch. The staff and service were excellent, everyone greeted us with a smile and friendly attitude. We had a very enjoyable evening. It’s now a cool, sophisticated but not too stuffy place to eat, a destination in itself as supposed to just a hotel restaurant. Great food, service and cocktails!

    Overall the service was very good but it did feel rushed, likely down to the fact that it was late Saturday night, we were the last to leave. Food was very good indeed. One dish was not quite to my liking , and the team could not done more, they were apologetic, and exchanged it for something else without hesitation. Thank you.
