service was pretty good for my experience, the waiter was really nice and things like that, and the restaurant itself was dimly lit and pretty relaxing, however, the food/drinks were SOO overpriced! the food was pretty good however the drinks cost refill and the drinks were just reallt expesnive for the portion.

Sat down to enjoy my son's birthday. Food was ok but the waiter (maybe owner) had an attitude from the start. My wife was scared of him and I wanted to knock his bad teeth out of his French head. If you look at the reviews this is a common theme. I real douchebag working there

Was out late looking for a spot to grab some dinner and was taken over by the bouncer at a nearby bar where the kitchen had closed. The main guy Elvis let us in even though the kitchen had just closed. We had a delicious dinner with 3 starters, 3 mains and dessert. The truffle pasta was amazing and he was heavy handed on the black truffle which was great. The fresh burrata and tomatoes was devine and what can I say except that it was the best pana cotta I've ever had so delicate and the perfect firmness to softness ratio. The chef came out on his way home and stopped by our table and talked to us. They were all super nice and we had an incredible dinner. It felt like a private dining experience with amazing food. We even took a pizza to go for a friend back at our airbnb. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would come back whenever in London.

Execrable service. Rude and obnoxious. Good food didn't make up for terrible attitude.  At the end of the evening we asked that the very bold £19 "optional service charge" be removed and they refused. My 82 year old mother was just irate and had words with the management and he finally removed it. I felt badly for the rest of the staff that the flash bastard who was our waiter made everyone look bad.

We walked into the restaurant and were greeted by a rude host who sat us. We didn't think much about it, but in retrospect, it set the theme for the meal. It was difficult to communicate with the waitress, the tuna in the tuna tartare was not fresh and tasted fishy, the baby chicken tasted "off", the salmon was cold in the middle and we had to go to the bar to order drinks because the waitress could not communicate what drinks were available. We would have tactfully mentioned the issues; however we were not asked how our food or experience was.

I do not recommend this resturant.

Swarmy waiter/ manager/ owner totally annoyed us. He was offended that we didn't want bottled water and preferred the "poison" water per him. Also snarky that we didn't order more than 2 courses and 2 glasses of wine, up sold us on a side by implying it was a part of the dish but overall the food was good- well presented,well prepared and reasonable portions.

I understand how dramatic this sounds, but this was genuinely the most disappointing meal i've ever had. The pizza was sopping with grease and rates below any frozen microwave pizza i've had. The "bruschetta" was simply chopped up tomatoes, no seasoning whatsoever, on top of toasted bread with again 0 seasoning whatsoever. I don't have to words to accurately explain the lack of flavor in everything we ordered. 

On top of the meal, the overall ambiance in the restaurant was off-putting- empty on a Friday night and playing strange music. The staff was nice but also gave us an off-putting feeling. 

We could not get out of the establishment soon enough. I walked away feeling almost as if we had been robbed.

This restaurant is off the beaten path. Margarita and Diablo pizza to go and it was very good. Service was attenative, and I was inspired to come back for dinner another evening. Dinner was very nice we started with the tri color salad and tuna tartare for entrees we had the spinach raviolis and the scallops. Everybody was very good and done well. The scallops were the on the small size but still very tasty. The service was attenative but not overwhelming and the deco is very pleasing to the eye. Was a very positive experience, I will definitely be back.

I have eaten dinner here three times in two weeks I have been in London on business and I'm sure I am not done yet.  I have tried pasta, tuna tartar, rack of lamb and even pizza - all fantastic.  The wines by the glass are quite respectable and for those not eating solo, the wine list is very good.  

The lamb tonight is perfectly cooked as are the French beans.  The staff is attentive and pleasant.  I highly recommend.

Fantastic pizza and the mozzarella salad was amazing!  Great service as well!  One of the few places open on the weekend in this neighborhood!  Will definitely be back!
