   Brilliantly attentive staff, all smartly dressed and polite. Food excellent quality and good sized portions, went for breakfast on a busy December Saturday morning. To say how busy it was there was hardly any wait, and they listened to my request of a well done egg-was cooked to perfection! Have always walked past but this is the first time we’ve ever booked and gone in for a meal. Conveniently located in the heart of Covent Garden.

   The atmosphere was very nice, went on a Sunday dinner and the staff took good care of us. The prawns , crab and escargots were worth it. And for mains the pork with apples and sea bass, sides are a good option but it’s heavy enough without them. The chocolate mousse was great aswell, along with the ice cream selection. It is pricer but the experience shows it was worth it.

   Paul B is a ROCKSTAR!!! Really lovely service!! Thank you! Atmosphere…it just requires a bit of tweaking with the speakers. There were some lovely singers tonight but the sound was too strong in speakers above our heads making it hard to chat. We mentioned it to another lovely guy who helped at our table & he turned it down a little! Restaurant was buzzy, food was quite nice. Wade on the door takes a PERFECT photo!!

   Amazing atmosphere and food, service unfriendly. Went for dinner with a friend and ordered to share. The French onion soup is a must and my favorite starter. We then split the steak tartare with their crispy bread. For mains went shared the entrecôte with fries and a green salad - delicious! Service was not very kind at the reception which was very annoying and unnecessary. However overall lovely experience!

   My new favourite restaurant in London, absolutely stunning food and amazing staff. It was recommended to us by someone that lives in London, and what a find. You walk into a vibrant ( but not too noisy) atmosphere, the service from every member of staff is impeccable- Rita our waitress was particularly helpful and friendly. My pork chop was the best I’ve ever had, my wife’s salmon so so tasty and our desserts were simply amazing. For the price you pay it’s simply amazing value for money. Can’t wait to go back.

   Bloody fantastic food and the style of the restaurant was lovely. I’ve heard many great things about this place for a long time but only recently got to try it. Every dish we ordered was delicious! Only piece of feedback would be the training of the staff, perhaps it’s a post-pandemic issue but most of the staff were either new or just untrained for example like not taking finished glasses and needing to keep going back into the kitchen to ask questions about the dishes.

   Lovely restaurant reminiscent of a grander era. The toilets, a journey back in time! Dark wood panels, big mirrors and rich red seating benches around the walls, white table cloth, candle on the tables, smallish of course in good bistro tradition. The food is good and reasonably priced and the prix fixe menu served all day until 7:00pm good value for money. The squid and prawn provençale and braised rabbit (chicken in fact as they had run out) were nicely cooked. The profiteroles, with ice cream filling and delicious chocolate sauce were some of the best I've had. Staff very friendly and helpful made it a very relaxed and enjoyable place with a lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

   Lovely food, for starter I had cheese souffle(see picture) . Came as a larger than expected portion, souffle was light, sauce was rich & topped off with grilled cheese. Main was steak fries & for pudding creme brulee. Food was great, staff attentive & nice ambience. Loved the hydrangeas planted by the front door so pretty. For me prices are higher than I would normally pick for a spot of lunch but this was a treat & food definitely worth it

   Food was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent and there’s a good reason why this place is hard to get a table at. Great venue, albeit seating is a little cramped (as table of 3) and it’s quite crowded. But made slightly better by the high ceilings and grand experience inside.
