Good food, at rather small but appropriate portions. Excellent wine list, but most of the more interesting bottles are kept in a display stand at the entrance, good for showing off but in suboptimal (too warm/too bright) conditions. This didn't affect the bottle we opened however. My real issue is with their business practices. An "optional" 12,5% service charge was added to my bill without informing me or asking my permission. The bill arrived wrapped around their business card with the lettering on the inside. Not ever before having had an "optional" charge added without being asked about this I paid without questions. I only found out about this once I arranged my things at home. I emailed the restaurant about this but haven't yet had a reply. I look forward to this being addressed.

We were going to the Palladium and needed to eat early and light before the Show. It is primarily a wine bar so the menu is quite limited if you wanted a full 3 course meal. The food was very good and we had the house red wine and it was very good. Had a nice French atmosphere and the staff were friendly and organised.

Lovely service & french ambience. Great selection of french wines & champagnes. Would be cautious to eat here if you had many dietary requirements as menu is very limited. More choice including vegetable options would be nice
