    In hindsight this wasn't the best place to choose for a night out catching up with friends. There were a few large groups celebrating birthdays and making quite a bit of noise - the atmosphere was quite lively - and I'm sure that meant they were having fun but it wasn't quite the vibe we were after. The food was okay - nothing special. What I thought wasn't great was that the main courses were brought to us when at least one person was still eating their starter, and none of our starter plates had been cleared. The waiter who brought the main course dishes didn't acknowledge we were still eating our starters, which I thought was poor. All of the serving staff were very friendly, but it took a while to catch someone's eye when we wanted to ask for the bill. So, not for us, but that's not to say it wouldn't be a great choice if you were after a different type of night.

    A few too many birthdays going on but we had a good meal although things arrived at different times for everyone. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive.

    This is our restaurant of choice in Soho. The food is good, the ambience fantastic and the service better than anywhere I’ve ever been. Special shout out to Tamara, I don’t think I have ever had a waiter who is so attentive and promotes her employers so positively.
