Fantastic day and a wonderful meal. We both had the stone bass. Emmanuella "Emma" went above and beyond to look after us. Two old friends who hadn't seen each other since pre COVID had a wonderful reconnect in the best possible surroundings. Thank you.

Would not rush back to this restaurant. Went for lunch on a day out in London (2 adults, 2 children) and found it very underwhelming. I had the fish and chips. The fish was really not good at all. Thick, greasy batter and over-cooked cod (to the extent that it was a spongy / soggy tissue consistency!) My husband had the bass which was also over-cooked and had to chase his side order of new potatoes which were delivered - cold - half way through the meal. The children had tomato pasta (which was OK but then it’s hard to get that wrong!) and chicken gougons which were also over-cooked and too crispy. No check back part way into the meal and no one asked how our food was. Given that they were very quiet, the quality of food and level of service was really disappointing. It’s not a cheap option (even factoring London prices) which meant it really didn’t feel like good value for money Definitely NOT somewhere I’d recommend.

Wonderful location. Great food but slow service. Not enough looking for eye contact to connect with customers wanting to order.

Wonderful oasis amongst the city madness. Beautiful terrace, great weather (lunchtime 29th). Food outstanding (esp lamb rump and sea bass), wine delicious (Sauv Blanc), ambience perfect. Will return.
