Maybe the nicest, most solicitous staff in town, which helps elevate the entire experience. Food was very good to excellent (in particular the Barolo braised beef ragout on expertly made homemade pasta) but the wine list is very small and doesn’t really do the food justice. Fantastic bartender though, who conjures up some great cocktails. We’ll be back again.

This Prix Fixe Christmas lunch was one of the best meals my husband and I have EVER had. The Amuse roast chestnut latte with vanilla foam topping was unbelievably delicious. I will try to replicate it. The raw bar selection was next - so fresh, so delicious, especially the oysters. My husband ordered the ample NY steak, cooked as ordered, enough that we had left over for breakfast today. I had the crusted salmon in a cauliflower risotto. Finally the best English Christmas pudding ever, and I am English. Fruity, moist and the light glacé sauce completed our meal. Truly outstanding service from Oumo and all the staff who were efficient, timely and patient.
