Lovely food and lovely waitresses at a lovely price. The atmosphere is very welcoming and open all day, which made it ideal for our pre-theatre meal! Would recommend.

An excellent evening with very good friends made even better by the quality of the food and service. Originally booked for 7pm but got 'stuck' in the pub opposite so popped into the restaurant and they agreed to put our booking back by half an hour. Very accommodating. We certainly be going again as soon as possible!

Food was very good. Pasta cooked al dente so just right. Veal Saltimbocca was tender with a great sauce. Service was attentive but not overbearing. On my list of London restaurants!

We had a nice meal. However, we live locally and found that the majority of other diners were tourists. So although the restaurant was busy, it lacked a certain atmosphere. Also, I asked for a side of "deep fried potatoes", as was written on the menu, and the waiter, I thought condescendingly turned to me and and said "you mean chips". I didn't like that.

We had a very nice lunch. The food was faultless & the restaurant had a pleasant ambience. The only problem was with the wine. The waiter was a bit slow bringing some red wine to the table (my wife, who thinks her forgot, had to remind him). He also almost removed a bottle of white wine from the ice bucket which had not been finished. Overall it was a good meal & we will certainly be going back.

Good food and service. Very nice wine. Would prefer some salt and a pepper grinder on the table to be able to season my food myself, but, generally, a very good experience.

Our favorite London restaurant! With only one night in town, we chose to go back here, and were not disappointed. The food and service continue to be top-notch (even on a Monday night when they were welcoming three large groups for dinner).

Beautiful setting, very friendly & efficient staff. They catered to my multiple allergies with kindness, efficiency & discretion. In the main the food (chicken livers as starters, halibut and escalopes as mains were nicely presented & well cooked. However the lemon sauce of the escalope was so acidic I ate the escalope off the side plate to avoid the sauce! The zabaione taken as desert was tasty, but needed to be whipped a little lighter.

Excellent service, calm environment and good choice of well cooked, well presented dishes. Main and dessert and a bottle of wine with coffe came to £65, for London, very reasonable. We will return.

The first time we visited this restaurant was a few years ago and we were the only people in, on a Friday night! So we booked a table rather tongue in cheek. But very glad we did. On the first Friday night in December it was heaving, with two birthday parties happening. I ordered the cold roast veg starter which was OK but a bit bland. There were no individual pepper mills and we were served with the minimal amount... Next was a butterfly chicken breast in a creamy mushroom sauce with mash. The mash was wet and sloppy, whereas the chicken was burnt, bitter and hard on one side. That side was put down onto the plate so it wasn't immediately apparent. We were not offered any parmesan cheese, tho' noticing that it was ready grated and served with a teaspoon, I wasn't too disappointed! Had to ask a couple of times for some tap water to accompany an expensive bottle of Italian white wine. All in all an expensive average experience. Expected more, following our previous visit, but we learned that the restaurant is under different management...
