    Our waitress was very good and attentive but there was a very long wait for our main courses. Even when the kitchen said it would be another 1-2 minutes it took nearly another 10 minutes

    The service was very friendly and pleasant. We were greeted on arrival and served some complimentary English bubbly as it was my birthday. My husband’s cod was delicious. The crab was a bit rich. The starter of beans , sugar snaps and peach had hardly any peaches and the beans were almost raw but the sauce on which it was served was tasty. The aubergine dip was good but should be served with some flatbread or crackers so one isn’t forced to order another starter like foccaccia as we were told to do. Firstly it doesn’t really go that well with the dip and we then left hss as if as it was too much

    Had an excellent evening here with my family. Our waiter was so lovely and accommodating to all of our needs. The food was soo tasty. The risotto with smoked burrata was exceptional!!!! The outside courtyard is a perfect place to spend a summers evening.

    Wonderful evening with a group of friends on a warm summer evening. Felt like we were in a terrace in Italy or Greece. Everyone raved about the food and service was top notch. Sole and cod were exquisite. Excellent choices of wine. Highly recommend, we will definitely go again soon.

    A wonderful courtyard setting for a reunion with old friends. Great location (an oasis just off the busy King’s Road). Fantastic food and drinks and friendly staff. Some of our group arrived a little late and it became very busy later on. They were very tactful and polite and we knew that we had a two hour booking. Plenty of space indoors if we had wanted to stay. Would highly recommend. I would encourage others to book an early table as it was perfect for us and better for the business.
