Best meal we have in London during this trip!

We chose to come here because despite their Michelin star, they have choice of "tasting menu" or "a la cart".
And we did not regret.

Impressed with every dish especially their courtesy appetizers, very interesting and delicious.

We would love to come back if we have a chance.

A 5 star Michelin starred hidden gem in the heart of the City!

Excellent service, a relaxed vibe, great menu, food presented beautifully, incredible flavours. I have been to dinner there as a couple and returned as part of a group for a private dining experience. Excellent wine menu.

Well thought through and well presented dishes! The place is not too crowded, and luckily relatively quiet. Finally a Michelin experience that one does not need to book weeks in advance.

We had the best time celebrating a birthday dinner! Among the best service we’ve ever experienced in a London restaurant. Food was amazing and the testing menu is definitely a good choice.
For 2 ppl the bill ended up £430+ which we thought was fair - wouldn’t go everyday obviously but it’s great for a special occasion!

Pretty good experience of tasting menu, specialised on seafoods, with great view and atmosphere of the restaurant.

All the amuse bouche had a very strong taste, not sure if it was necessary if the mains are mostly fish, only one of the bites were still memorable.

Very good appetisers, great sauces and uses of asparagus was impressive. Mains were great too, especially cod was my favourite, so soft yet firm meat with great flavour, was a fantastic piece. Desserts were just average.

Service was very quick as the restaurant was very empty, the waiters/waitress had a strong accent which made hard to understand when they were describing the dish, which is not a big deal however they could have smiled a bit more often as it felts very cold.

Overall, was expecting more from this restaurant but I guess the standard of 1 Michelin star has gone down which is disappointing.
