   Divine as always, food was out of this world and so fresh & tasty. We had their new 6 courses tasting menu with wine pairing, the best choice if you like to have a proper meal, beautiful combination of seafood and meat.This is A must for anyone visiting Paddington area, highly recommend booking as always busy. See you soon x

   If there was a possibility of giving 6 stars this would be the place to get that accolade...This place has a real buzz to it probably down to the amazing hosts that are attentive and also personal...Now the main attraction is the food we all agreed better than any chain you might know.......You have been eating wrong for many years until you experience the Smith's food Top service & Top value. Greatest restaurant in Central London!

   Booked a table for 16.30 and upon arrival, told kitchen wasn’t working before 17.00, so a slight disappointment. Food was good and reasonably priced, though drinks were certainly expensive. Staff were attentive.

   Very loud music with a competing saxophonist on top made it very difficult to have a conversation. Nice location and atmosphere and friendly service, however vegetarian options limited and very expensive for the portions we received.

   Another fantastic night thanks to Emilio and Fabrizio. Food was tremendous as usual and so was the setting cant fault the place. Will be back again. Steaks are juicy and well cooked to perfection, the aubergine parmigiana is to die for. The location is just perfect for a romantic walk by the canal in Paddington place.

   Visiting family in London and had heard a lot of good things about this place near Little Venice, we were warmly welcomed and from then on I knew it was going to be a good evening. We were not hurried and had plenty advise from the waiter on what was in the dishes. I chose oysters & chicken ! Delicious, wine was great and the atmosphere was pub like, but also serious enough to feel like a good quality restaurant! Not cheap, but worth the money, great to meet Alfredo the manager who seemed to be effortlessly gliding around a busy restaurant. Would love to go back and do it all again!

    Imagine a great location by the beautiful canal of London Paddington Basin with a great restaurant. Don't miss. The Sunday roast is to die for. Superb food. Wonderful wait staff. Dynamite environment. You will not find a better restaurant in all of Britain. And one of the best casual restaurants in Central London, 10 min walk from Kensington gardens. Highly recommend!!!!
