Pre theatre dinner - seated in the ‘front’ room which had a lovely relaxed ambience. It’s really fun to watch all the denizens of Soho walking past! Theatre menu was ridiculously good value at £25 per person with the quality (and quantity!) of food being excellent. Slight confusion with the wine that was handled very well by the manager. Highly recommended.

Warm greeting and an interesting menu. We chose the soft shell crab which was a delicious starter. Seabass, steamed or grilled, was a reasonable price (other menu choices were more expensive). Provence rosé was cool and very pleasant.
