The 3 Michelin star experience was above expectations...the food was not only beautiful, creative and flavorful but it was created with love and dedication. The wine pairing was also superb. I would travel back to London for this experience. Scallop with caviar was my absolute favorite!

Gasmin our server was great. We ordered the prix fixe which was good. I loved the salad and the desert but the main ( essentially fried haddock) was good but not great. Next time I’ll order off the main menu The place has a beautiful art nouveau decor and is in a great neighborhood I’d recommend it and as I said our server was great
