    This is one of my favourite restaurants and I've been there many times. Last week, I had a quiet lunch with a friend who hadn't been there before. He was totally impressed. The food was delicious, the wine was fantastic and the service was perfect. All I can say is that I agree with everything Piers Morgan says about this restaurant!
