    To be honest, I booked Ochre out of convenience, since we would be at the National Gallery for the (excellent) exhibit of Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers. But we're happy we did it: it turned out to be an excellent dinner, in all aspects! The ambience was carefully customized to the exhibit, with sunflowers everywhere, including a drinks' menu inspired by Van Gogh's work - we had the "Red Vineyards" and the "White Field with Cypresses", both excellent, see the pics. But besides that, the service was excellent and really attentive (our waiter, for instance, rushed to execute our drinks order 3 minutes before the end of the happy hour, giving us an instant 50% discount). And the food was *really* great! We had white beans & sausage dish (me) and a ravioli (my wife) that were just great. Amazing night, we didn't expect to be so happily satisfied with the meal! Recommended on its own, with or without the museum visit!

    Very good food with great attentive service in a rather beautiful and serene restaurant away from the hustle and bustle of Trafalgar Square.

    A great experience let down by the limited time window. When you consider our meal was a five course experience an hour thirty to enjoy it just isn't practical. To that end we didn't get our desserts, which they offered to box, but this was far from ideal. Given it was a £200 meal for two I'd expect at least two hours which would have been more fitting.
