Busy early evening but it quietened down as theatre shows started. Great food as always. Wines are a bit toppy (as they are everywhere). The best tables are those where you can sit next to each other (at 90 degrees) and still look out and see the room. Service is low profile but 'aware' and it remains a fave.

Mondays at Trivet are casual and relaxed. Their La Bombe wine bar concept is a perfect start to the week. The food is more comfort than the 2 Star food during the rest of the week but no less refined and cared for in its preparation. Let the attentive and knowledgeable serving staff guide you through their eclectic and delicious wine list and revel in Chef Jonny Lake’s food, skillfully prepared by his team!
