We went for The Chef’s Table experience - a 7 courses lunch which was absolutely delicious! We were sitting literally in front of the kitchen watching the chefs cooking and sending the plates. Every single course was more and more tasty, big applause especially for the carpaccio, the cod & the lamb! The service was amazing, the whole team was very friendly & polite. 👏🏻 to the Chefs! Will definitely be back!

Food was exception, atmosphere was great and whilst the servers were very attentive unfortunate the entire meal took 4 hours in total (but the wine flight helped!). However the staff did inform us that it was their busiest night of the year so far. Would still definitely recommend for a special occasion!

Was taken here for a surprise birthday lunch by my fiancée. She knows I love fine dining. This french restaurant did not disappoint. We had the £49 set lunch menu and ever dish was presented exceptionally and made my taste buds dance. The service was excellent and staff very friendly. If I had to nitpick - the lunch was slightly rushed and the drinks are let's say £££. Anyway this is part of the experience, been to many places in London - this is a really amazing place to enjoy outside of London. The setting of the restaurant is also divine. Go and try this place, you will not be disappointed. An exceptional birthday present.

Food was okay. The wait in between dishes for the tasting menu was far too long. They preferred to offer additional bottles of wine instead. Also the only alternative to lamb was a small piece of aubergine

Visited here with the family to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I mean what's not to like when you're having an 8 course tasting menu. Absolutely delcious... every course a triumph... looking good enough to eat, but a work of art too. We were treated very well, service was excellent, setting great too... drinks a bit pricey, but this is expected. Not a bad word to say. Scrumdiddlyumptious!!! They also charged the Tesla whilst we spent the best part of two and a half hours dining. Thoroughly recommended for a real treat of a meal.
