The restaurant as always was warm and had a nice vibe. The waitress didn’t know the menu and service was slow. I booked for the winter warmer but this wasn’t available. The bill wasn’t correct. In a post the food was good. The arrival and leaving was made very pleasant by the friendly engaging and very helpful cloakroom attendant, he made the evening. I think on this occasion I was unfortunate with the service, also the fact that the menu requested didn’t seem to be available

Beautiful light bright restaurant. Makes such a change from all those trendy dimly lit places where I need my phone torch to read the menu. Decor is fantastic, staff all well dressed and wearing signature notify on dresses and waistcoats etc. lovely big bar / counter area. Great mixture of seating. Food choice and standard of food is good as is the choice of drinks. Service from bar, to waiting to concierge is all professional and helpful but not overly fussy. We just love eating in here and people watching. It has a lovely vibe.
