Up to their usual very high standard. Food was delightful and the service exemplary. Only problem was building noise from works above the restaurant. Maybe suggest that the building company schedule 2 hours of quiet work at lunchtime?

Magnificent restaurant. Perfect service. Interesting cuisine. To do.

Raymond was the highlight of the night for us. What a top class waiter (maybe he’s the manager as he acts on this level). He easily charged our table for my elderly mother and took her by the arm/hand to walk her to the table as she has slight mobility problems. He’s service is better than staff at the Ivy restaurants and he is a true asset to the restaurant. Helena was also amazing and also took care of my mother during bathroom trips. Overall the service staff went far above and beyond excellent service.
