    The food was exceptional. The restaurant was very busy on a Tuesday evening, which gave it a tremendous atmosphere. There were several birthday party celebrations. The staff are attentive and polite. I recommend highly.

    This was HANDS DOWN the best dinner we had while in London. It was our last dinner of our vacation and our biggest regret was not being able to go again before returning home. The ambience, the service, the food… all 1000000/10.
