We went on the night of the England vs. Croatia semi final so atmosphere maybe unusual with large tables full of women. Our waiter was very knowledgable about the menu. No music and good acoustics.
I started with Gravlax which was very nice if rather dainty in terms of portion size. Thoughtful accents of very finely diced green apple dressed in a lemon gel, dabs of avocado puree and tiny dabs of mayo. My companion's red pesto arancini didn't look terribly attractive having been somehow blackened. However, they did taste divine.
I let the waiter talk me into ordering my bavette steak medium rare instead of my preferred rare, and I kind of regretted that. It was nonetheless a very good dish with tender steak, some flavourful barley, sauteed haricot vert and raw peashoots for freshness. My companion's lamb was amazing. Meat was cooked sous vide and seared on high heat on the griddle. Astonishingly tender. Served with flavourful borlotti beans, a sweet poached shallot and a sweet braised carrot.
All of the vegetables were extraordinarily good and tasted of meat stock. A side of new potatoes was lovely too. In a sauce made with veal stock, butter and chive and sprinkled with fried bread crumbs for texture.
All the dishes were well designed, but were a little on the salty side. I don't mind, being Chinese, but if you are sensitive to saltiness you might find everything a bit over seasoned. The house red was pleasant and an affordable £19.40 per bottle. They take the tastecard, a commercial restaurant discount card offering 50% of food, on weeknights.
This is my go to place in London- it’s like a home :)
If you are visiting first time, try their five course secret menu. Their cocktail is really good. I always tell them what alcohol I prefer and they
make the things which are not the menu!!
Very friendly staff, it’s a perfect place for going out with group of friends or even perfect place for a first date (make sure to get a seat near the glass window to get a nice view)
Great brunch spot if you're in the area.
If you want to grab a bite at the weekend, I'd recommend to book ahead.
Our waiters were all very friendly and had good banter, which always makes the difference.
Food and coffee were great!
