Fabulous food. If you like chops and steaks, this is a great restaurant. The meat is top quality and superbly seasoned. Really great vibe in the restaurant and the service was top notch - friendly, helpful and fast. Great part of town too, so you really feel like you're getting a proper London experience. Loved it and can thoroughly recommend it.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had which requires a revisit to be able to try other things on the menu. Superb service and loved the ambiance of the place. Best bread pudding dessert!

I loved the place and the huge table looking to the kitchen. The decoration and the atmosphere. But I was a bit disappointed with the food, that I found too saucy and with associations that I didn’t think so interesting. Also, we were advised to order at least 5 different plates to share and that was way too much! So I don’t think I will recommend. Sorry !
