Square Meal review of Whits:

This well-liked bar & restaurant has the feel of a neighbourhood spot but serves an ambitious menu that suggests destination dining. The cooking is impressive. Soupe de poissons made a rousing starter – creamy & aromatic, with rich side servings of croutons, emmenthal shavings & rouille. To follow, a crisp fillet of sea bream tasted fantastically fresh & was accompanied by taglioni, rocket, mussels, langoustines & a sea urchin tapenade. A cloud-like hot souffle daubed with banana custard & accompanied by a creamy coconut ice-cream displayed all the verve expected from a signature dessert. Whits will not be to all tastes: there’s something rather dated about the decor, which has a 90s feel, while the style of cooking is not exactly cutting-edge. Nevertheless, it’s all part of the endearing individualism with which the place is run by co-owners Steve Whitney & Eva Barkasz, chef & front-of-house respectively.
