   You know. It was average. The sommelier was great. Apart from that the food was rushed, the vegetables were not cooked. The table was crammed next to another table and we apologised to each other that we would interrupt each others conversations. And for 2 people we spent. £600. So yes it was disappointing. Last time I went it was better and less cramped.

   Dear Neil, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet your expectations. While we’re glad you appreciated the expertise of our sommelier, we sincerely regret that other aspects of your visit fell short. Your comments about the rushed service, undercooked vegetables, and seating arrangements are very concerning. We strive to provide a high-quality and memorable dining experience for all our guests, and it’s disappointing to learn that we missed the mark this time. Many thanks EM

   Fabulous british/european restaurant. This time we brought our daughter and partner who were equally impressed. We come every time we are in London. We always have the Mussels and then the lamb chop. Great flavors. Our waiter Maurizio was absolutely outstanding. We have been served by him before and he is amazing and very interactive. Thanks again for a lovely meal.

   Without a doubt. The best steak house in London. We come every year from a couple to now a family with a baby. Alfredo is super attentive and to be fair the whole staff are too. Customer service like no other. Highly reccomend as we always do to anyone coming to Paddington.

   We did make a reservation, and we're given a beautiful table by the window. Beautiful surroundings, relaxing atmosphere. Staff were fantastic. The food was delicious, good portions. We started with oysters and calamari which were amazing, then we both had the pasta truffle, it was out of this world. Great experience over all!

   This was by far the best restaurant we visited while on holiday in London. The food was unreal we couldn’t fault anything we had. The staff were super attentive very friendly nothing seemed too much trouble. I would definitely visit again and recommend it to others. We were served by a young man called Fabrizio and another gent who’s name we did not get and they were both great. Try the rib eye, its a MUST.

    Quality restaurant. Great food. I am often made to feel odd for liking my steak well done and usually they come cremated but not here. I asked for my steak well done (no pink). When it arrived it was slightly pink but staff were fantastic and remedied the situation without making me feel uncomfortable or destroying the steak. it is really worth it for the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff members. By far the best restaurant we found in London.
