    Excellent service and food. Good menu choices. Served fresh and hot as soon as cooked. Lovely ambience and extremely fried fly and professional staff. The only drawback, hence the overall four starting, was the wine prices. For a pre theatre lunch we wanted a house wine at a reasonable price. Accepting rising costs, the cheapest wine was£39.50 a bottle. The food lends itself perfectly to enjoy with wine but the wine ( which we had so as not to spoil the occasion) was simply too expensive. We highly recommend the restaurant but would have to add a caveat regarding the wine prices. Thank you.

    Great before theatre show location. Excellent cocktail/wine list. The bruschetta was delicious. Tomatoes were yummy. Caprese salad was very good. Lasagne and Spaghetti Carbonara were hot, fresh and generous portions. Everything is made fresh so brought to your table immediately. Dark Chocolate Bombe for dessert was perfect.

    Lovely service albeit a bit slow. The small plate concept was not clear when we booked. Food was tasty but the concept of sharing plates doesn't work so well for pasta dishes..or for the wallet. Drinks are pricey too - and the tiny bottles of Coke for the price charged are just silly. Overall enjoyed the food, just not the value for money.

    Such a beautiful restaurant and the food was fantastic. Service was pretty slow we definitely would have had a lot more drinks, but we had a very early sitting as we were going to a show for 6:30pm. I really recommend this place though the food was top tier.

    We found Hair in my food. They apologized but didn’t do anything to make the situation better. Also, aside from the pasta which was good everything I wouldn’t reccomend.

    Food was lovely, food runners, waiters very and front of house polite but towards the end service was very slow trying to catch someone’s attention to get another drink, dessert menus and bill.

    The food here is good and service very good. There was one item which irritated us: a fish skewer for£18 which comprised of one prawn, one scallop and one small piece of monkfish. Not value for money.
