    The Maitre D’ found us a wonderful table outside. Service by Pierre was wonderful. The Tomahawk steak excellent too. Not expensive for London either. Fantastic Friday evening!

    It was so busy and extremely loud with music and people talking. I had to leave early as I wasn't able to have a proper concentration with a friend. Food was good. Service was amazing.

    Way too loud, so after moving to another table that was 'quieter', we ending up leaving. Too loud to talk, and the live band hadn't started yet, which, according to the staff, was going to be even louder.
