    Food is absolutely great, even though the menu is short in terms of selection. If that means the chef uses only fresh seasonal products, this is an added plus. Ambiance is very basic and standard. It could be improved somehow, to keep at par with the great food experience. The service is poor and one waitress should pay more attention to customer care, being less rude and more welcoming.

    Great restaurant, lovely seafood themed menu. I would recommend it. Special me mention to Paloma, the Operational Manager. My partner and I dined here on Valentines day 2025 and there was a minor mixup meaning we didn't get the table I'd been promised and we're instead placed at the bar. Paloma made this right on the day which was really appreciated. Good customer service overall.

    My favourite restaurant in London. And it becomes the favourite of most people I introduce to it. Except for one friend who found the food too salty. Excellent fish-based menu. Outstanding chef and staff. Not cheap but price-quality ratio is correct.
