It’s good food but they should put a warning here that Sunday menu is only available for a minimum of 2 rather than allowing 1 person reservations to book for the menu and then tell me it’s not available at the restaurant. It’s misleading.

Mice in the restaurant! Close down and sort out before anyone else has the same horrible experience! The staff and food were excellent though but just ruined entire experience with what we saw…

Vibey joint for the Mayfair cost-insensitive. Would you like caviar with that? Good experience all-round, though the menu is rather odd (or perhaps just unusual?). Particularly good service. Even turned the deafening music down when asked!

Good place a date night, very dimmed lighting and the music was a bit loud from time to time but was enjoyable throughout the meal. Excellent presentation and the staff were very attentive.
