    Simply the one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Service top class with nothing too much trouble, food exceptional, view over the Thames and Tower Bridge adds to the experience . Not cheap but good value because you get what you pay for. Been there numerous times and not once have I had any reason to complain. Well sourced fish in particular and an extensive choice on the menu. Highly recommended.

    Came in on the final service of 2024 for my dad’s birthday with my family. From the outset we were very well looked after by the knowledgable and charming Jacob. A model example of how to come across friendly and attentive without being at all overbearing. The food was absolutely sensational and despite my mother having a shellfish allergy, every care was taken to ensure her dining experience was not impeded. Truly exceptional food, a good wine list and very clever cooking going on in the kitchen. Couldn’t recommend higher and I wish Tom and the whole team all the success in the world for this venture.
