Really enjoyable pre-fireworks meal. I had steak and crepes while my daughter had french onion soup and grilled chicken … and shared the banana crepe. We were looked after well by the warm and friendly team and our meal was delicious!

Chose location due to proximity to Wilton’s Music Hall and good reviews. Wasn’t disappointed. Great service including recommending a very good and reasonably priced Champagne from their huge range. Food was also very tasty. If you like fizz and light bites, this is ideal.

I am in two minds. To keep this neighbourhood gem as a cherished secret so we can get a table or to trumpet it and be disappointed because it is fully booked. The location and dining spaces are beautiful, the menu is kept abbreviated so you know the ingredients used will be fresh and the service by Miro (last night) and Sue (from previous dining experiences) is delightful. The bread and butter, the wagyu burger with truffle chips, fine green beans, the moules… all made delicious, fresh. Merci
