Arrived to see disappointed people being turned away. Glad I booked! Welcomed warmly, with an almost apologetic reminder that the table was due back after 90 mins - which was fine as we had tickets the matinee at the Opera house a few mins away. Nice Sunday brunch available but went for the regular items for something to get through a fabulous 4 hour Opera. French onion soup hit the spot (although it was too good and I slightly burnt my mouth on the delicious melty cheese!!) Roast chicken chasseur was a comfort classic to add to the soup. Only time for a coffee before dashing to the performance. There is a buzz to the place that was surprising for a Sunday (well for me at least as I don't hit the west end at this time on a Sunday normally!) and the staff were warm and professional that was the cherry on top of this great meal out!

Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere but I didn’t like the way in which we were hurried over dinner. Bringing the bill without even asking for it because the table was needed wasn’t great.

Food was ok. Starters…soups ok. Beetroot..felt like it was straight out of a jar..not pleasant. Mains…Sea Bream and cod were beautifully cooked. The steak and lamb were overcooked. Desserts…all very good. We ordered glasses of port to finish with our server…whilst waiting…another senior manager said our time was up and we needed to vacate our table. We said we had ordered ports…she didn’t look best pleased. I know a busy time of year, I knew there was a time limit..we were 15 minutes inside this limit however. There is absolutely no excuse to bang down the glasses on the table. Totally unforgivable imo. We shouldn’t have paid the service charge in all honesty. It did tarnish the night…which was a family celebration. We won’t be returning.
