The food was beautiful and everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant was lovely and relaxing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back to try more of the menu but I will find it hard not to choose the carpaccio Wagu or Venison again! My only complaint was I needed a bucketful more of the artichoke purée!

This was a very disappointing experience. The open kitchen was chaotic and stressful to observe and to hear. It was the most stressful restaurant experience I ever had. My husband’s back was in front of the toilet door and I was CNN looking directly at the frenetic kitchen. Final straw…. We were presented with the wrong bill. Luckily I checked it before paying ( and 10% service charge already on bill!! Be aware) The food was good.

Absolutely the best Beef Wellington I’ve ever had ! Lovely service, lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. Only tiny negative is that it was a little on the chilly side but it was a wet Thursday night so probably not as busy as usual

We booked this on the off chance on a Saturday night and were certainly not disappointed. We received a warm welcome, and given time to review both drinks and food menus without any pressure. Our waiter was engaging, chatty but not overly. The food was outstanding, my Beef Cheek starter was as good as anything I’ve had, deep, rich, melt in the mouth and beautiful. The beef Wellington was also excellent and much more substantial that I was expecting. We were made to feel welcome and important without it being fussy. Not a single complaint, 10/10.
