The food is imaginative, well cooked and well presented. The staff were charming. The atmosphere is very pleasant but the acoustics are challenging. Noise builds up very quickly in such small spaces. On the plus side the views are great and especially magical at this time of year with the Christmas lights.

We were told that we were being moved to a table on top floor, as this was better than the table the team had reserved for us. The table was sitting just inside the upper dining area, facing the staircase. Cant help wonder why this was a ‘better’ table as it was fairly poorly positioned. I had to ask for salt as the cellar on the table had none left. My chair was in a poor state with the faux leather peeling off the seat. Overall, the Kitchen seems to have deteriorated since my last visit there. Shame, but I would probably not return

Starters were lovely. Hot and fresh. However, the same couldn't be said for the mains. They arrived luke warm. Flagged it up to the waitress. She apologised. We ate the mains as we were hungry but very disappointed for a restaurant of that standard. Eaten here and sister restaurant The Mustard Seed many times. Bottle of wine taken off the bill. Manager didn't come and apologise which was disappointing.

Important Update:

Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

We arrived early, were able to have our table early, we were seated, as requested upstairs with a view over the river. It was my friend's 1st visit, she lived it. Service was perfect, attentive, polite staff, not at all intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious. Thank you all, for making our lunch visit perfect

It’s all about personal preference, the food was enjoyable, however my group of 5 have decided Al la carte / fine dining not for us! I found mushroom gnocchi in broth for main is simply a very expensive small bowl of soup! service was good, so can’t fault them. I would’nt eat here again.

Early evening meal before the Cinema so it was quiet but got much busier as the evening went on. Food was excellent and service impeccable. Had the halibut in miso sauce. Tasted wonderful but tended to overpower the fish.

The food is excellent but the service for follow up drinks was not good and we felt very cramped in the space. The tables were very close and near the stairs and service station. Not impressed.
