A nice atmosphere and decor, tables were well set out with ample space around. Food was tasty; the black pudding scotch egg was nicely cooked, with a runny yolk. The mushroom risotto was perfect albeit a little expensive - probably due to the truffle. Partner ate from the set menu, which was exceptionally good value. I would definitely return if eating in the area again.

Pretty decent restaurant. Covent Garden manic outside but at 19.30 here only 9 diners. Service very good and food ok but vastly overpriced. £ 50 for a small fillet steak !!!!. It was good but not that good. Served with microwaved chips. I dined alone. One g and t plus 1 small glass of pinot noir and a one shot expresso = £110. I know this is Covent Garden but not great value
