Pleasant experience. We had a reservation. This is a museum restaurant but it is quite large. Food is simple but well prepared. Our service was excellent. Well worth it even if not visiting the Collection.

I love the clubby relaxed feel of this place, so it easily wins 5 stars for ambience. The service is great - typical top end London chic. But the surprise is the food. The menu doesn’t look exciting but the finished product certainly is. From the chicken salad stater through the pork belly mash with black pudding mash to the way better then normal cheese board, it was a perfect place to work through a few excellent bottles of wine whilst putting the world to rights!

Great food. Wish we booked our seats indoors. Very friendly staff and the bartender made me a stupendously good Margarita which I’ll be coming back for.
