Just occasionally you want to give a 6-star rating! The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully presented, cooked to perfection. There's a good choice of wines at a variety of price brackets. Service was very courteous. Linen tablecloths - hooray! Almost inaudible background music - hallelujah!! It was the Monday after Christmas, so there were very few tables. That is a shame for what is undoubtedly one of the best recent openings in London. everyone should go there in 2025.

Food quality was excellent; the venison cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, the starter & main course portions are very small and very expensive. I did not have dessert.

The staff are all friendly but very professional. The head sommelier gave some wonderful wine recommendations. The food was all completely delicious. One point to note is that most of the starters include some shellfish which limited the choice for my wife who is allergic to shellfish. We were served 3 delicious hors d’oeuvres at the start and 3 petit fours after dessert (and offered satsumas at the very end which was a nice festive treat). So quite a bit of extra food too.
