Arbutus (63-64 Frith Street, London, W1D 3JW) We did the ‘early-bird’ pre-theatre offer on a busy Friday night and the food was excellent. The set menu was very good value for money (stops at 7pm) for the food quality. It was a busy night, so lots of tables of two packed into the space, but the service was very good with lots of personality. I'm pregnant and couldn't have either of the dessert options on the set menu (one contained raw eggs, the other soft cheese- both no-no's when pregnant) but it was explained that these were the choices, and so anything else would be additional charge. So, we were charged extra for my dessert. It's a shame they charge extra to cater to special dietry requirements, as most restaurants are flexible with coming up with alternatives. Although having said that, I'd go again but check the menu beforehand.
