Latest review:

I went there with my friends on a special occasion. We had a set menu with a glass of champagne on a Saturday night. We expected to have a very nice experience, as it was our first night in London. And everything started very good - the restaurant was next to our hotel, we were warmly welcomed to our room, and we were let to choose the items from the set menu. Most of us chose lamb (it was Easter) for the main dish, and here started out troubles - lamb was not cooked well, the knifes could not cut it, teeth could not chew it. We all left our portion half way or totally untouched. when asked by the waiter, I told him the lamb was not to our taste, and I though this would be all. If the 12.5% service was not compulsory, we would not pay it. Later in the night my child had stomachache and spent the rest of the night in the toilet. In the morning, my brother also told me he had the same experience. I also had some troubles, but thanks God, I coped with it. So generally, the restaurant is good as environment, as service, but not at food ... Think twice before ordering lamb !!!
