    What a perfect meal! It is such a charming venue with wonderful service and a lovely welcoming staff. Had the scallops to start and it was the best seafood I had while in London. So fresh and such a creamy sauce. Perfect crispy mushrooms on top. Went beautifully with the chenin blanc. Then had a half order of the roast chicken with a glass of Corsica red. Felt like a little Paris neighborhood bistro. I went by myself and felt like an old friend. Many happy small groups there as well.

    For a restaurant that has only been open for a few weeks, High delivers a standard of cooking and service comparable to Gordon Ramsay's long-established Royal Hospital Road outpost. We particularly liked the personalised written summary of the food and wine we had enjoyed and the rapport created with our fellow diners and the High team. Definitely a restaurant at the top of its game straight out of the box!

    The host was friendly and welcoming. We were uni friends meeting after a while and were given time and space to catch up over good food and drink. Complementary chocolates at the end were a lovely touch.
