    The meal was not helped by the staff moving us from our table to the very noisy pub to have dessert. We arrived at 7pm and, being a Londoner I am used to being told there is a 2 hour window for dinner before the table is needed again. None of us were slow eaters We were asked if would move at 8.25pm. This is not the level of hospitality I would have expected from any restaurant.

    Exceptional food, highly inventive and exquisitely prepared and served by our waiter who was as gracious and engaging as he was knowledgeable and professional. A superb five-star experience — we’ll be back!

    Wood grilled doesn’t always add up to enough but it more than does here. A truly excellent meal. Get the sea bream.
