    Excellent service with attentive staff. The food, mainly small plates, was excellent and the cocktails were unique and well made. Seating-wise, the majority of seating is high stools. There are 5-6 booths for groups of 3-6.

    It's hard to leave a view when you're left speechless.. Let's start with the welcome - front of house staff dressed in uniform cream, each with their own defined and welcoming personality; no pressure to go for the tasting menu, but when you're told that it 'just keeps coming,' it's hard to resist. An informed sommelier tells you that the wine list changes each week and are responsibly sourced - this adds to the mix. And then the dishes do indeed keep coming - and what dishes they are. Victor Garvey is in many ways a summation of all the great restaurants in which he's worked - French Laundry, El Bulli etc.. This is, for me, the best place no just in London, but Europe... and it's just getting started...

    Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Studio Gauthier. Myself and my partner have been many times before and on this occassion we came with two friends who had not been before. One is pescatarian like ourselves, and the other is a meat eater, but we all loved the food - really tastey and inventive. The service was lovely and we treated ourselves to the wine pairing, which was very good.

    Incredible! The service, the food, the music, everything! Probably best tacos I’ve had and genuinely enjoyed my night! Tables are a little low making it a bit awkward to eat but otherwise had a blast. Highly recommend
