    Service was very slow and unhelpful. The atmosphere is ok but very young crowd, boarder line teenagers. Food is good overall. Not fan of the place overall.

    The rude waiter gave away half of our bottle our wine and charged us for it. Tried to make us leave after an hour and a half and said we drank all our wine. When questioned he began to argue with us and said he could charge us for the wine we hadn't drunk???? Got a glass of wine after speaking to the manager but it was not managed well at all. Would not recommend at all

    We had the pleasure of dining here on the last night of mixed groups of 6. We had a lovely dinner. The lamb could do with some sauce but service cocktails and ambience is second to none. Can’t wait to return

    Not to be rude but - if I knew we had only 2 hours to sit and enjoy our table - I wouldn’t have booked it at 6.30 - which was the latest available booking

    Horrific service, food pretty average and staff who think way too high of themselves, rude from the beginning to the end. Price wise very average for a decent restaurant in London.
