    Wonderful experience at Pavyllon in London. Myself, my wife, and our 10 year old son. We had the festive set menu which was reasonably priced, and every course was delicious. We especially liked the bread service, little individual loaves of a very yummy bread. Our son ordered from the children's' menu and enjoyed a soup, followed by pasta. My singular point of constructive feedback is that we were not offered anything other than water or wine. When the wine list was presented, I commented that we usually preferred beer, but there was no further offer of any other beverages. I accepted this as a sign that we could enjoy a "dry" holiday lunch, and we did! Thanks to the staff, and especially Marco, for recognizing our 19th wedding anniversary with a very enjoyable chocolate mousse cake and a special message.
