    Great food, just a bit slow despite it not being very full. Staff is very friendly.

    Luigi, at the oyster bar, made the visit perfectly memorable. This is a top-notch place to enjoy the freshest available oysters, but the charm and service make the experience one of the best in London. Will be back.

    Fresh oysters on crushed ice, featuring plump interiors and served with tangy cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge.
    Succulent lobster drizzled with melted butter, garnished with fresh herbs and served with crisp lettuce leaves and a lemon wedge.
    Three breaded croquettes, likely seafood or vegetable-based, served on a bed of tender asparagus with a smooth green puree and garnished with strands of sea asparagus.
    Mussels in a light broth, garnished with green herb sauce, showcasing tender orange flesh and a savory flavor profile.

    Everything was fantastic. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and grilled lobster was literally the best I’ve ever had! So as other dishes, they were all fabulous! Will definitely go again!

    Assorted shellfish in a rich broth, topped with toasted bread, fresh herbs, creamy sauce, and sea asparagus for added texture and flavor.
    A musician in formal attire plays a polished black grand piano, creating a cozy and refined dining atmosphere enhanced by live music.

    This place is perfect on every level. Can’t recommend highly enough!

    Food was amazing and very good quality! Only annoying thing was that they wouldn’t allow us to order a starter to have as a side with our main. We were sat by the door which meant we kept getting cold every time someone walked in. It

    Service was friendly and attentive. Table by the window was a little cold. Fish Pie was great - meaty chunks, well cooked, and very creamy. Turbot was bland and not very flavoursome.

    Excellent host and excellent service. Wine list doesn’t provide the perfect match with food, lobster spaghetti was perfect, shellfish cocktail lacked a bit of taste, fish and chips was perfect, fried calamari was to the point.

    Expensive lunch, £275 for two, two glasses of wine each, starter and main, water, two mint teas. Pricing is excessive although the food is very good and the service was excellent. Noisy and no privacy so not ideal

    Superb restaurant especially for fish lovers We had the fish for two which was Turbot which was lovely The Rose champagne and Chablis by the glass were a perfect accompaniment To finish the special trifle was a delight We went pre theatre so was a little quiet inside, hence the lower score for ambiance The waiting team were very friendly and attentive Great place for a special occasion
