Lovely food and great service but the atmosphere was quite dark with poor accoustics. Will eat here again, though.

The food was just "ok." The service was great. The ambiance cold and sterile like it used to be an asian restaurant - super modern. Cocktails and wine selection great. I've found it difficult to find good French food in London.

Tried to order lime and soda drink and the attendee didn’t know what I meant , they said they didn’t have lime cordial and brought my freshly squeezed lemon juice instead … eventually after going to the bar opposite I received what I asked for. Suggest more training for staff
