We enjoyed a very enjoyable early Sunday lunch here. The service was good and our main courses tasty. We can recommend the trout, confit duck leg and steak. All were perfectly cooked and served piping hot. The perfect pre-Festival Hall concert restaurant.

My 3 guests (family and friend) had a nice dinner starting fairly early 7pm on a weekday following afternoon theatre. We shared starters including fish tacos and smoked salmon which were all tasty. Diverse mains of pork chop, bone-in sole and mushroom pie were also appreciated and amply portioned. There was a bit of a lull between the starters and mains but our waiter took noticed and followed up. A good and convenient place to dine when you are out on the South Bank.
