We celebrated my wife’s 60th Birthday last night at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in Covent Garden. What a lovely restaurant and the food was perfect. The champagne I pre ordered was waiting at our table for us and Pritti looked after us all evening, she was superb. On arrival we had a drink at the bar and Rafaell and Marcelo were excellent and made us feel really welcome. We could not fault the restaurant and will definitely return. The restaurant is really well run , congratulations to the General Manager Sali who we had a great conversation with and the chef who we met when leaving.. Thank you everyone for making my wife’s Birthday so special.

Food and environment are great and definitely returning next time in London. The service was a bit rushed and we and the table next to us were politely reminded there was another reservation behind us. A little surprised to experience that after just over one hour in a restaurant of this level but perhaps that’s typical these days ? Rarely happens in the US so it was unexpected. Nonetheless, enjoyed our dinner and will return.
