Really good food and great service. Not too busy or noisy although the week before Christmas. It’s is quite expensive but then it is in the middle of the square mile.

Really delicious food prepared in front of you. The menu may seem simple but the quality (and size) of the dishes is amazing. Pleasantly intimate setting with attentive but not overpowering service. The live stream / commentary can be distracting in such a small space but it's part of the package so no complaints. Would definitely return.
