   It was slightly chaotic although the restaurant was not full (there were many empty tables). People including us were waiting to be seated while tables were not being cleaned and prepared on time… the hostess was mixing up who was waiting. At the table again we ordered water which never came so we had to order again. The waitress forgot what we had ordered! The food quality however was excellent! Especially the oysters and the half lobster were prime! They must be better organized…

   Pre theatre supper with 6 family, lovely seat staff and food. The only annoying thing was being near a speaker with the thumping beat. Music choices could be more traditional French, Jazzy.

   Pre-theatre dinner. Restaurant can get noisy. Clearly very popular and very busy. Quite good menu range.

   Lovely greeting at the door and reception and overall very friendly staff and good service. We had to ask to move tables as the was live music and we were close to the entrance area and speakers and it was too noisy to hear each other over the small table. This was promptly accommodated and we had a very good food. But the vocals were way too loud adding to the overall dim of the busy dining room making it a slighlty uncomfortable dining experience and we decided to not stay for desserts.

   We went for a pre theatre meal. We hadn’t been before . For a Covent Garden restaurant the prices were very reasonable . The food was good but what made the experience outstanding was the service . I have never experienced such efficient and uniformly friendly service in an extremely busy restaurant. It was a pleasure just being there watching the staff glide around keeping every table happy. And live music too. Excellence personified. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

    It was nice enough. The service was great. We had a table for two around 5.30. It was busy and quite loud and the tables were quite small and close together so had to shout a bit and could hear the next tables conversations. That being said, we still had a great time. Food was fresh. Had crab salad and chicken with mash, escargot & muscles. Decent quality. 2 courses and couple drinks around £60pp. Would go again but maybe at a less busier time.
