Excellent food delicious service. The only reason I under score the food was they gave us a different lamb from what was on the menu it wasn’t as good as we hoped but was our fault for choosing it so we just really love the cheese soufle and the dessert was delicious as were the cocktails, 100% go back again.

Lovely dining room and great bar area. Only gave it a 3 star Dow value as they have an auto 15% service charge which is quite an uplift from the usual 12.5%.

There were four of us and we were not impressed with the starters (three of us had the crab with grapefruit and the other person the chicken and hock terrine). They were pretty tasteless. The fish mains (cod and salmon) were very good but the steak frites was fatty.

This was one of the best meals I have ever experienced. I was excited to eat in the very restaurant that hosted some of the first PEN International meetings in the 20’s, and thrilled to see it is still an exceptional place.
