    Fabulous experience! The food, cocktails, and wine were simply superb and the service was above and beyond attentive and professional. Beautiful ambience and very well kept restaurant… would return again when in London.

    Unfortunately meal was ruined through eating some flour and salt at base of the scallop shell, which I mistook as edible celeriac. This dish should be labelled that the base is not edible.

    Visited one evening after the theater The Food and ambiance were wonderful. However the waiter and head waiter/manager was smug and condescending to our group! They pretty much told us they did not want us there without saying it out loud! Possibly not interested in serving Americans? We were well dressed ordered bottles of wine cocktails appetizers mains and desserts...so you can imagine it was not an inexpensive meal so the final disappointment was after paying the bill the waiter lingered in hopes of a larger tip above service charge, embarrassing and completely tone deaf to give that level of service and expect anything more!! Oh and be prepared that they charge pp for live entertainment that played 2 songs before finishing their set and leaving Save your money and enjoy great food and certainly better service anywhere else but here
