An exceptional restaurant and on the two occasions I have visited I would rate this as one of the top dining experiences in London.
A muted room with well spaced tables, the atmosphere improves like a good wine as the meal progresses. Clearly everybody around you is enjoying the experience.
Service is the best type – attentive, unobtrusive, warm and friendly, staff are well briefed and clearly enjoying their roles, they showed pride in the cooking and the restaurant.
The food is beautiful, and delicious. Inventive touches abound. Flavours are strong and elegantly combined. On Saturday evenings the chef's tasting menu provides ample opportunity for imaginative flair. We had no idea what our dessert was and were invited to guess. What looked like a delicate slice of lemon tart turned out to be white asparagus with white chocolate ice cream – an extraordinary idea which really worked. Other tables were served different dishes.
A confident kitchen, a great place to go for a special occasion, an oustanding restaurant.
