    Favorite meal in London this spring. Interesting fish and vegetarian forward sharing plates. Lovely atmosphere when doors and windows are open to the patio. Great service, fun atmosphere and delicious well-prepared food.

    Nice atmosphere, food good though the changing menu means it's a lottery as to whether there'll be something you're enthused about. Seating arrangements very peculiar. Value for money quite poor - very expensive wine list. Service excellent though.

    Food was great! Our waiter gave fantastic recommendations. The interior was also really beautiful. Worth noting that all seating is communal dining set up, but the way they sat us at the table still felt private enough.

    When we visit London this place is a must. Inventive menu that always encourages you try something new. Great wine list. Creative space. Keeps getting better with age.

    The service was impeccable but the menu was quite limited although so delicious, especially the ray, duck and lamb dishes! I think we ordered almost everything for our group of five! It was my second visit and would highly recommend it 😍
