Fantastic restaurant I the heart of the city of London. The staff created a wonderful experience for my guests at my birthday dinner.The service is exceptional. The food is sublime- the set A menu was excellent as was the vegan gluten free menu.Thank for creating a wonderful atmosphere for my birthday evening

Very nice place, but be warned they won’t really do vegan options! The best they could do was no starter and a small salad for a main course - the veggie options looked to me like they could have been made vegan quite easily but it apparently wasn’t possible. A shame as the non-vegans I was with all enjoyed their meals, and it’s a nice venue.

Enjoyed the secluded and exclusive atmosphere of the excellently appointed dining room. Fantastic selection of seasonal traditional and contemporary dishes. The foie gras melted in the mouth and the partridge was delicate but flavoursome both accompanied by well recommended Northern Rhone St Joseph. The selection of cheeses and port completed a very enjoyable meal, all served courteously and professionally by the friendly staff and knowledgeable sommelier.

Elegant treatWe dined early one evening after a trip to the Theatre. We were the first to arrive and warmly welcomed.Our son wanted the Bistro menu but we wanted the restaurant menu, they were more than happy to accommodate.Good selection of choices (including vegan) as well as a couple of specials.My wife had the 'special' tomato salad which was excellent a balance of flavours and a really tasty garlic dressing that was flavourful but not over powering, going on the menu in April, worth a trip back. I had the scallops again tasty and interesting to eat.For main course I had the fish of the day - John Dory served simply with a caper butter, when ingredients are this good that is all you need, simply delicious. The assiette of pork was also very good, all portions were generous.The desserts were a small selection but all very good.This is clearly a restaurant aimed at the business market and we could have felt out of place but the service was just right and we were made to feel very welcome, even with a 7 year old in tow... Ketchup, mayonnaise no problem.It is also worth noting very close to Bank and Cannon Street stations so easy to get home after.We will be back!

Great food, I had the fixed price dinner of salmon, beef and cheesecake with a glass of champagne for £29 (plus 12.5% service). Good food and value. The service was a little old fashioned/stuffy and in your face but not terrible. Great service. Good menus. Friendly. What else can you ask for! Meal for two c90 for 2 courses each. And coffee. Probably not my first choice given other venues nearby but I would go back.

Cozy little restaurant a touch of French flair. A place for business lunches, but don't let that put you off - the staff are very warm and welcoming.The food was excellently prepared and presented and the deceptively simple dishes delightfully fizzed with flavour. The Eton Mess, a favourite of mine, was superb. The croquettes were amazing, full of flavour, as were the fish cakes too. The wine, though not really my thing, was extremely good, according to my fellow diner.The surroundings still have that shabby chic thing going on giving the ambience a stylish, intimate feel - I could imagine some important deals being struck down there.If you are feeling flush, give 'em a go.

Lovely little restaurant with good wine selection. The lunch menu is well priced and has a good selection of dishes too. The bread is tasty and staff friendly. The entrance is down the side and can be hard to find, and the inside feels a little dated now, but that doesn't detract from the atmosphere. It's not the most modern or stylish place, but its a great alternative to the high end restaurants in the Bloomberg building or 1 Lombard etc.
