    In my opinion, possibly the best classic cuisine restaurant in London. Impeccable service that is highly attentive but never in your face. Service that adapts to you and reads your needs. The food is superbly executed and presentation is like a work of art. The value is good, and the £15 corkage fee at lunch makes it very very good value indeed, especially if you are partial to a more expensive bottle of wine or champagne. Been a few times and will go many more. It's over an hour for us to get there but boy is it worth it.

    Excellent service, highly professional but also judged perfectly, friendly, welcoming and did everything to make our dinner special and memorable. A lovely meal, and our table of five had a wonderful evening and look forward to returning.
