    The food was very very good and the atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely. The service overall was very good the only thing that could have been improved was the fact that it was my dad’s 70th birthday (I made this known at the point of booking) and we could see that they had prepared a little dessert, but we had already paid the bill when they realised they hadn’t brought it in time. We could see it sitting on the table where the waiters were. If that had been included then everything would have been 5 stars.

    I have eaten the special menu several times all good but the pasta is much too thick and density very wrong. Need change to different one. Had to leave mine. Shame as love going to St John's Wood restaurant.

    My experience overall was a little disappointing! Me and my family had breakfast celebrating Father’s Day and waited a very long time to have our order taken and understandably was a busy day! Our food arrived first and the drinks only came after we had nearly finished! Coffee came warm after asking for extra hot. Food was nice but found it to be little on the plate considering paying quite a bit.. Staff were friendly and the place is beautifully decorated. I am not normally one to complain but from having dined there before was quite disappointed.
