If I could give the place a ZERO believe me I would! I’ve worked and traveled to many restaurants throughout my life and This by far is possibly THE WORST restaurant I have ever been to in my life. Where do I even start?? Firstly we were seated on hard stools with no back and a table that so low and dark and cold you could barely eat your food without dropping it everywhere. The staff were absolutely appalling! £300 bottle of champagne that was warm! And they couldn’t even be bothered to pour it for us even that was too much to ask…we poured our champagne and wine all night ourselves as the waiters were too busy chatting up the women at the bar all night instead of serving their paying customers.We waiting over an hour for some bread in a basket, which was stale. Then they got our order wrong and forgot my starter and my main course. To top that all off the food they actually managed to give us was disgusting…raw prawns, and soapy raw monkfish. But BY FAR the worst thing of the night was the vile managers, I called them over 4 times and each time they said they would be back over to sort something out and never returned, instead just ignored me and sent over some free shots as if that would make up for completely ruining my birthday celebrations.I pray that this place goes bust in the next few months because you don’t deserve a penny of peoples hard earned money, the sooner you shut down the better! I wouldn’t recommend this pathetic excuse for a restaurant to my worst enemy, Please avoid at all costs!

We visited for drinks on a Friday night. The music was great and the staff serving at the bar were very efficient and friendly. BUT. I cannot not give a one star review after I witnessed an incident at the entrance where men were denied to be let in unless they agree to a minimum charge of £150 - while women would be let in with no issue. We cannot continue to support venues with such sexist policies - won’t be going back.

Dinner place which will turn into a club in the evening. Interesting interior design. Staff was nice but rushed us into paying our bills towards to end, the booking did not specify us needing to return the table by a certain time. Food was average. We ordered the Porterhouse steak which had lots of tendons inside and was a bit cold when served.

I came here for my birthday meal and we were a table of 10, I initially asked for a table of 9 but the table was for 8 and after some faff we managed to fit everyone onto the table.We opted for the pre theatre menu, personally I liked the food, though there were some annoyances, some guests couldn't eat truffle, I believe this is easy to rectify - just do not add the truffle honey or truffle salt onto the food. As a chef I know these things are added once the dishes are cooked, we was told it cannot be changed. Though my guests were offered an option after they were told it couldn't be done but the food was brought out at once and people had to taste the food to figure out whether it had truffle or not and people had to swap dishes around. I personally find this off putting and a lack of attention to detail from the staff.My main dish came out 20 minutes after everyone received there's and we had to ask the manager to bring my food out, again the service here was lacking. The portion of fish for my two friends were terrible compared to what my other friend received. We was told each dish is weighed out but again, there was a big difference in size.Aside from asking the waiters for something multiple times and trying to sort out the discrepancies I'd say the food is good and I'd definitely return to try something off the ala carte menu. I did try the prawns which were divine! The pre theatre menu was very delicious too, and the tarama!!!! One of the best I've ever had and I do love the way they plate their food. I think the service here just really let's this restaurant down. Also some of the hostesses are miserable, making faces is very unprofessional and childish.

Tiny portions for the price.£35 for the stonebass as can be seen in the photo. £12 for 5 potatoes is an incredible mark up. Weird stuffy ambience. Good place to take a client to make them feel like they are in an edgey restaurant when money isn’t a consideration.Wine however was good.

Good fish (which is difficult to find in London) but ambience ruined by the end. It turns into a club later in the evening and starts the music blasting by 8.30, which is very disruptive for an evening meal. Seeing as no one goes to a club at 8.30 it would make sense to push that timing later. Apart from that, the staff were amazing and were very professional. It is very expensive and I’m not sure good value for money but nevertheless a lovely meal that tasted good.

Music is a must. Food is really good. Can be a little bit long but staff is nice. We were on the waitlist for Saturday and we passed by the restaurant and got a table. Go to the bar after dinner it’s really a vibeeee
