    I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

    Faultless food and drinks, accompanied by Denby’s perfectly cheerful yet professional service, which was prompt yet unrushed. There are so many pre theatre choices, and we’ll be back to this one for sure. Lovely touch to acknowledge Hubby’s birthday with a candle, song and card! Thank you.

    We had an outstanding dinner at Orrery last night. It is a beautiful restaurant - clean lines, intimate spaces. The service was top notch and the food was exquisite. We also had a lovely bottle of bubbly - Ruinart Blanc des Blancs. All in all, an excellent evening - we will be back.

    Fabulous evening in a small intermit venue. Raymond the manager was a breath of fresh air. He welcomed us in to an empty venus that soon filled. He and his staff then expertly made sure we had everything we needed and ensured we had a great experience. Would definitely be returning. The live music was very great although I’m no expert in Jazz and the food and drinks were reasonably priced.
