Pleasantly surprised. This was a wine bar with pizzas rather than a pizza restaurant with wine. Great ambience. Muted dark blue colour scheme. Very relaxing. Friendly staff. Tasty fresh pizzas. Great place to meet friends. Even though in Covent Garden, not horribly overcrowded. Don't order drinks from your seats though, as you'll get a service charge. Would go again.

Wonderful afternoon tea but... I booked on open table and booked the 20% traditional afternoon tea experience however when the bill arrived they said this offer was not on and they’ve tried to contact open table and their manager has tried to change it also but cannot. Apart from that the gentleman that served us was excellent, the food was excellent also. Thank you to the Stage at the Londoner.
