   We booked the special lunch offer - 3 courses with a glass of wine. Attractive, minimalist decor, almost zenish. We were disappointed with the portions; most dishes were about 4 mouthfuls. The cheese range was good, but the portion was so small. Perhaps it was the lunch offer, but the picture does not reflect the reality - it looks twice the portion. For mid-week it was quite empty. Would like to try again in the evening perhaps, but only if we are in the area.

   Has to be one of the best lunches I have ever had. Imaginative , technically mind blowing, tasty to the extreme, the decor is very special too along side a competent and friendly service. Tom Aitkins absolute genius , petit fours are not to be missed .

   I have been fortunate enough to dine at many lovely restaurants in London and Michelin star ones. but I must admit Tom A. has exceeded all my expectations! Unbelievable food cooked to perfection great presentation, even the bread s to die for! and the service is amazing. It is not a pretentious place like most of them and the staff are great but relaxed ! A fantastic lunch good value for money and great atmosphere ! Cant wait to go back again!

   The food was 10/10. Great service and the restaurant had a very stylish yet relax ambiance. We will definitely be back!

   Had a great set weekday lunch with a glass of wine. Very nice food, beautifully presented. Brilliant bread selection too. Atmosphere was very relaxed, maybe too much so as a bit too much of a wait between courses. I would definitely go back.

   I chose this restaurant to celebrate my son's graduation. I wanted somewhere special and this fit the billing. On my previous visit I had one of the best meals I'd ever had. Unfortunately this visit didn't quite live up to that high standard. Although beautifully presented some of the food just wasn't as good as I had hoped. From over-cooked scallops to vegetables I couldn't actually cut it just missed the mark. It's still a fabulous restaurant but after the build up I gave it to my fellow dinners I wish they had experienced it as I did on my previous visit.

   From the arrival of the canapes to to the last mouthful of petits fours the whole experice at Tom Aitkens was amazing. The food is seriously out of this World - where does he come up with it? Flavours never before experienced and presentation that simply stunned! We had the taster menu and at first wanted larger portions as everything was so delsightful but once the desserts came out (15 ways of chcolate ?!!) we were happy that we still had the appetites to enjoy everything! Would love to come back again :-)

    Everything was good just I call one day before to ask if it could be posible to change our reservation later because they gave it us at 19:00 which is very early, they answer was the most they could do is half our later. We arrived to the restaurant at 19:30 and the place was empty it passed an hour and a hour and a half and still the restaurant was 50% full and stay the whole night like this, when we left we told the capitain about this and obviously he told that it was weird that they had the reservations made and they didn´t show. Also they said they gave us the reservation at that hour because we made it by internet. That is very Presumptous.
