Second visit to SW, although there was a bistro menu offer we decided to go for the slightly more expensive standard menu and weren’t disappointed. The staff were attentive without being overly so, the food was fresh, hot and delicious, can highly recommend the Arancini starter. Nice atmosphere and we will definitely be back. Thanks

Sigh… We like the Sticky Walnut and have been coming here for a while but this meal was a disappointment. The good stuff first - The starter, dessert and wine were spot on. Perfect. The main… aka the supposed star of the show… very disappointing. Three small slices of lamb rump (my wife’s had a surprise bit of bone…) with a few tomatoes and some sauce. No options for any additional veg or potatoes. Pretty poor. Finally the service - This is meant to be high quality dining, the female staff were lovely but our main waiter (guy with a moustache) made no effort and basically wanted us in and out asap. Keep in mind this a £75 pp meal, before wine and tip. We felt MASSIVELY shortchanged by the experience and will be heading elsewhere next time, we’re really sorry to say…

We had the January Bistro special offer lunch menu. All very tasty but fairly small portions so some sides are needed. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive.

We moved here almost six years ago and this is the nicest meal we have had in a city known for its variety of restaurants and cafes. Highly recommended.
