Step into 1st floor RAILS Restaurant for a buzzy and relaxed dining experience. Expect a great modern British-French grill with succulent meat, fish and vegetable dishes served with sauces and sides, and the best moments from a Parisian brasserie menu, not to mention interiors.

Frenchie cocktails and digestifs top off the occasion from the adjoining Little Bar, wrapped in William Morris wallpaper dressed in eclectic art.

In addition, GNH Bar and Terrace, a bustling and welcoming space, blending British heritage with world influences welcomes you downstairs on the street level. The GNH Bar is open every day from 9am to 11pm.

    Terrible terrible service, please don’t go here for your own sake. We waited an hour, didn’t get our drinks even by the time we left and the bill was triple what we had. My worst restaurant experience ever!

    It said festive dining. Not one piece of Christmas decoration in the lounge(small garland on mantle).. No decoration or tree in the restaurant. Nothing festive about the menu ,although the food was very nice, not a vast choice..Service was VERY slow but staff were very nice… No Bacardi, no Courvoisier & no Tia Maria.. 4 of asked for a coffee Licquer to finish with.. I had to explain to the waiter what they were… When they finally arrived they were cold… We complained & they offered to do them again but they didn’t have Tia Maria & the alternative they used was awful so they took it off our bill… The background music was really bad… No atmosphere so it cost us just under £100 each & we were all disappointed & agreed we wouldn’t go back there…

    A lovely restaurant, great service and lovely food. The only let down was the choice of “music” as it sounded like a something screeching. I asked twice to have it turned down and it was no issue but is was …. Weird…. Annoying
