I’m a Hawksmoor fan and a regular whenever I’m in London. Seven Dials never disappoints in any way. I dined pre-theartre at 5:30. Tonight, a senior staff member came to my table - ‘Hi, good to see you back with us again’. The food is always top notch, but Paul’s visit made the evening memorable, particularly as I was alone. See you guys next time Cheers Paul
