   Lovely meal to celebrate a big birthday. All excellent delicious food, service was attentive but not intrusive, beautiful setting. Team brought an additional birthday dessert with a candle, unprompted by us, for the birthday boy.

   A friend and I went to Gees for the first time. While we liked the ambiance, the noise level made it almost impossible to conduct a conversation. In large part, this has to do with the nature of the space - nothing to absorb sound - and tables shoved too close together exacerbate the problem. The food is good, but I did not think it was worth what we paid. My friend reported that her monkfish was "fine" (i.e., not excellent), which was the case with my cassoulet. Fine but not great: the pork belly was a bit overcooked and dry, and the dish definitely required more seasoning. It was overly bland. We did enjoy very much the fried zucchini as a shared appetizer, and the wine selection is quite nice. On the positive side, service is excellent, and food comes out of the kitchen piping hot and nicely presented. I do, however, think the cooking could be better, especially given the London prices.

   Our meal to celebrate a significant birthday was enjoyed by all. The service was very good, food was delicious. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion or just a meal out with friends

   Delicious food and relaxed ambience. Very much enjoyed the fresh oysters to start and black spaghetti for main, with partner enjoying the ribeye steak. Lemon soufflé also highly recommended. Will definitely be back soon to sample the rest of the menu!

   Lovely elegant dining with very good food. Have been many times and will come again. Two negatives to note however, if you have a hearing aid you will find the noise too much due to the glass room and solid floors. Secondly the courgette fritte are cooked in the same oil as the white bait. lots of restaurants do this so it’s a red flag to me now ( I’ve often had bits of white bait in with the fries) but is unacceptable as a vegetarian to state they are vegetarian on the menu when they have been fried in fish oil which you can taste. Please change this!

   Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind and informative review; we sincerely appreciate your opinion regarding your most recent visit, specifically with the courgette frit. I have passed on your feedback to our head chef and this will certainly be taken into consideration. Concerning the noise levels, we also have some separate seating areas, such as the bar tables or the terrace which offers a quieter environment, should you wish to use these on your next visit. Thank you again for your time and we hope to welcome you back soon! Kind Regards, Roxy - Restaurant Manager
