    The food and service is excellent. I didn’t like that the tables are so close to each other, can barley move past.

    Prompt and friendly service, varied menu and perfect for pre theatre. Appreciated the tables were widely spaced so we could have a proper chat and hear each other without effort. Will book again.

    Beautiful setting and wonderful service from the staff. It’s not easy to run such a large scale operation and they do so seamlessly and always with a smile. Well worth a visit!

    The restaurant is nice but the food is poor and terrible value for money, even in London.

    We've been in this restaurant probably almost 10 times in the past years. We've always loved the onion soup here. However this time the service was so bad that we decided never to come back again. The service was very slow. They forgot to serve some of the sides so we had to ask them several times. They forgot about my partners brithday which I marked in the booking.

    First time visit before the theatre which was a Christmas gift. We arrived and were seated very quickly, ordered our starters and main together. Starters arrived and were thoroughly enjoyed. Mains arrived and it was not what we had ordered. We made our waitress aware and they took our plates away to prepare the correct order. Once our mains we did order arrived they were delicious, we were still missing a sauce we initially ordered for the steak. I made the waitress aware and they did bring this over in an timely manner. Ordered dessert as well which were also lovely. Had a lovely evening despite the mix up with our mains.
