Cannot fault Como in the slightest. We called ahead to explain we missed our train and had the most pleasant service. Staff were so accommodating, the food was incredible and the cosmopolitan cocktail was 10/10! The goats cheese and fig salad is a must!!!!

A perfect meal, all 3 courses were top notch and the service was great too, despite being a very busy time in the run up to Christmas. It was an anniversary and a very special way to celebrate. Thank you.
