First time visitors - my wife and I went for a birthday meal. Ambiance was brilliant. Perfect intimate lighting at the tables. Music great and volume good. If I'm being super critical, tables could be a bit further apart. Food was absolutely perfect and came in good time. As it is my birthday, we were given a glass of fizz each (probably prosecco) and a small cake for me with a candle and a 'happy birthday' in chocolate sauce which was nice. Price was on the high side but to be expected I think. 15% service charge was added on which I was happy to pay as I couldn't find fault with anything and was going to tip anyway. After the meal, had a drink in the rooftop bar area which is stunning and is open air and overlooks St Paul's Cathedral which is all lit up at night and looks brilliant. Brilliant venue, brilliant food. 10/10 for us.
