Such a warm welcome, it was my birthday and made to feel very special. The waiter and waitress were so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The chef even came out to see us to discuss one of the dishes. My gluten allergy was catered for perfectly and the wine suggested was very well received. So pleased I saw this on tripadvisor when searching for restaurants in Clapham. We will be back!
