    Lunch with a friend on our way to the Albert Hall. Lovely venue. Great ambiance while easy for conversation. We felt we had picked the best in this area. Set menu was great value and good food. Coffee also very good. Feels very Polish.

    Perfect date night spot. Authentic Polish food, ambiance was stunning and the location itself was beautiful. Food was unreal and service was spot on. Would highly recommend. On the pricer side but it makes up for it in quality and portion size.

    I’ve had Polish food all my life, never experienced it prepared and plated in such a fancy way! Food was outstanding and our waiter was very nice, though I did not get his name.
