    Fabulous atmosphere but felt like we were paying for the experience rather than for quality food/service. Mains came before we’d finished our starters and the waiter cleared the starters while we were still eating! Had to chase up a drink we’d ordered twice (they did give it to us on the house in the end but it took at least 15 minutes for us to get the drink, pretty poor really) This place was recommended to us but we won’t be recommending it to others. Too expensive for what it was.

    Our waiter was not attentive, took way too long to check on the table, barely spoke to us or offered recommendation. Our desserts took 30 minutes, we had to remind him that we placed the order.

    Had a reservation (made with Opentable) for the piano bar that wasn’t honored. Had to settle for walk-in dining but should’ve just gone somewhere else.

    The atmosphere and history is incredible. I bet the bar and whisky room would be a fun date night. The food was not great and took over an hour to arrive after ordering; maybe the worst flatbread I’ve ever had in my life. The server was very minimally engaged. Not rude but for a $200 bill I’d expect more than just a short hello and order taking. Go for the ambience and some drinks and apps.

    Excellent food. The service was a bit slower than we are used to, but that could have been due to the overall ambiance. I highly recommend.
