The restaurant decor had a lovely modern feel, the service was excellent from the moment we walked through the door right up to the moment we left, the staff were helpful, polite and attentive.
Sadly, I was surprised the set lunch menu only had two dishes to choose for it each course. The food was well cooked and presented, but just lacked that certain something. It was very nice and pleasant, but nothing outstanding.
There were some really good touches, the amuse-bouche was lovely and there was a good selection of breads and butters. Then after dessert, there was an impressive selection of complimentary petits fours.
We ate on a quiet day with not many diners therefore the restaurant lacked a bit of atmosphere. We were the only ones to be seated in the smaller dining area, however we were a bit surprised when the only other couple we seated right next to us, which felt rather odd considering the empty tables in the area.
I enjoyed a Saturday lunch after the Royal Academy summer exhibition and was amazed about the cosy and tiny setting of the restaurant. The service was impeccable and transferred a feeling of being en famille which made the good food even more enjoyable. The hotel in which the restaurant is located is a bit in the back and needs some looking for it, which is nevertheless worth the effort. If you need a moment's breath combined with a good lunch after spending your money on Piccadilly or in Saint James' (your hat maker might be next door, cum grano salis), this might be the place to be.
Magnific place to enjoy a great dinner. The environment is sophisticated. The food is wonderful and the ambiance is excellent. The service is great and the wines are wonderful as well. Well worth spending a couple of extra euros for a magnificent meal experience.
