Richard's Reviews

It is such a shame that the lack of warmth from the front of house and their accompanying pomposity always spoil the experience here. We have eaten here amongst all the eurotrash, gaudily overdressed types a handful of times and just feel this restaurant has an overblown opinion of it's worth…on more than one occasion we have arrived without a booking and were made to feel as though they were doing us a huge favour by allowing us to eat there – boring! The restaurant hadn't even half filled up before we had left on each occasion.
It is a shame as the serving staff are nice, it serves lovely food and is nicely decorated, but it has all the charm and welcome of queueing to get into a West End nightclub.

Just like stepping into a bustling, vibrant Hong Kong eaterie and packed with Chinese folk, so clearly a good sign. Our food was a bit curate's egg – duck was very good, but the sea bass was poorly cooked, tasteless and an unpleasant texture…rice and noodles were ok. The service and atmosphere was excellent but I do think that modern London restaurant standards have left this place behind a bit in the food department. All in all a good place for atmosphere, fun and noise but not a tremendous dining experience.

Very simple and a very nicely presented philosophy behind what their intentions are. All the food was very fresh, beautifully cooked and presented and a perfect example of simple food done well. Our only minus that was lacking was a bit of atmosphere, but to be fair we did go on a Sunday evening…I would expect it to buzz midweek.

A wonderful place for relaxed but beautiful food. Limited main course choices for fish eaters, but plenty of delicious options for meat eaters – I would rate the lamb chops as my most favourite dish in town, for what it's worth to you fellow London diner!
It has all the charm and feel of an independent restaurant and there is a palpable sense of the dining room being managed expertly throughout service by the two front of house gentlemen.
A professional yet relaxed wonderful place.

We walked in off the street without a booking and were seated straight away in a very welcoming manner. We loved the menu and as my girlfriend is a pescatarian we normally have a limited choice of options but we felt this menu offered her lots of tempting dishes. The food was beautifully presented and all our drinks were brought to us much more promptly than any other restaurant – which drives us to distraction when we have to wait for them!
The atmosphere was warm, vibrant, relaxed, fun and understated. This is an absolute gem and we found everything about it was faultless. This restaurant stands head and shoulders above the rest.
