Table service a bit off: bread appetiser did not arrive, the starters did! Had to ask for the bread. Had to ask for the glasses of white wine which were ordered at the time of the food and were meant to arrive when the aperitifs were finished. Asked for one dessert and two forks: two desserts arrived. Saving grace was the food-delicious

Easy to book, very pleasant and attentive staff, excellent choice for the pre Theatre dinner at a great price. Food was good, as expected and just 5 minutes from the theatre. Don't know how it could be improved.
