    Exceptional restaurant. A lovely evening with amazing food served by Sarah’s amazing team. The stonebass and lobster risotto was an outstanding dish all paired with amazing wine. A lovely meal as always.

    I have lived in the area for a year and I wonder why it has taken me so long to visit this wonderful restaurant. Having lived previously in Wimbledon, nothing there compares. Friendly and attentive service, excellent food and a decent and well priced wine list. Nothing to fault at all other than the difficulty of booking a table at short notice- but that’s the price of quality!

    The French table never fails to impress. We had a lunch tasting menu for my husband’s birthday. As usual the food was delicious and the service impeccable. This is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in London, we have been there so many times and will return again and again!
