Had the vegetarian set menu where the theme was children's books.
Overall, food was of a high quality and some of the dishes were excellent. There were a couple of dishes which were a disappointment compared to the meat set menu.
Restaurant has a nice layout and waiters were excellent. My only complaint would be it's a very popular restaurant and the tables are closely packed together. Overall makes for a loud dining experience.
Would go back again as a one off for a special occasion.
We had the Tokyo menu, and the food was absolutely outstanding, each course was incredibly well presented and tasted amazing. You can really taste the effort and thought that has gone into the menu here. Its also clear that everyone in the kitchen takes pride in their work as the presentation and attention to detail was incredible.
Unfortunately our service was not as good, our server was quite rude and seemed to want to hurry us into ordering extra items, constantly trying to upsell us on drinks and talked so fast and in such a thick accent that it was very hard to understand him.
The pushiness on drinks was what I found most disappointing, we were hurried and quite forcefully encouraged to go for a wine paring, despite the fact that we had said we didn't want to drink alcohol on this occasion. The server returned at least twice to try and get us to take the wine pairing but we refused. After the second course he came back and tried to get me to order a beer with my food, after all the previous harassment I gave in and ordered a beer, which was promptly forgotten until desert some 50 minutes later. At this point the server returned and apologised for forgetting the beer but after 4 courses I refused it as we were halfway through our last course.
To top it all off, the bill we were presented with included both the wine pairing and beer, both of which we had not received.
Overall its a shame about the service as this was a lovely meal otherwise. I think its important to note that not all of the service staff deserve this poor review, the Scottish man that served one of our courses for example was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food, as were all the other staff that we encountered Unfortunately our main server that managed our table (our bill just says "H"?), just didn't meet the same standards.
We had the Catalonia menu, very innovative and reasonably priced. Atmosphere was a bit too loud and could barely hear staff when they were explaining each plate.
Would definitely recommend checking which menu it’d be.
