Had a lovely evening with some friends. Started with drinks at the Atrium bar followed by food at the Nomad restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. It was nice to have a dinner where it was not too noisy as I wanted to catch up with friends and not have to shout over the noise. The restaurant is very nice, the food well presented although the portions are not the largest. I like the fact there are other bars within the hotel to move on to should you want to for a change of scenery I would go back again as overall the experience was good

You won't find better value than this in London. Really buzzy vibe, lovely service and delicious food. The theatre menu is insane. It's like £24 for 3 courses. But also very reasonable pricing at peak times. Really beautiful venue and you will never leave hungry. I think every staff wished me a lovely evening on the way out. That goes a long way. Their business model is to be busy all the time, so a very hard working team. If you're saving money with the deal, it's kind to add a tip in addition to the service if you can afford it. They so deserve it. Love this place. Very well run indeed.
