Wow! What a beautiful place to have breakfast in. I was truly impressed by the interior and ambiance. Had an amazing breakfast with surprisingly great coffee! Will be returning!

Don't be taken in by the modest sounding name of the establishment, as this is unlike any tavern you are likely to have frequented previously (unless your local tavern also has a £3500 wine option) - having said that, if your wallet/ purse allows, the food, wine and service are very very good so it is well worth a

Almost fine dining in very fine surroundings! All the food is very nice and there is an ample drinks and wine selection. The duck in particular was a highlight.However, I think it slightly misses the high bar you would expect for the prices you pay (e.g £6 for a bottle of still water). The service on every course was a bit slow to the point you begin to wonder if you've been forgotten about, and it always felt like we were competing with other tables to get the waiter's attention for drinks or paying the bill. The side dishes were also a serious let down - the chips portion was very small and a third of them were small burnt ends, and the broccoli was just a dish of completely plain broccoli. Not great for costing £7 each plus service charge!You'll undoubtedly have a very nice meal here and be fascinated by floor to ceiling paintings and pictures, but you'll probably also leave with the niggling feeling you paid a little bit more than you had to, and the same expense elsewhere would've bought you a slightly more refined dining experience.

Uncooked salmon dish which we were still charged for. Mistakes on our bill and a waiter trying to take the bill twice. Slow service as well. Wouldn’t recommend!

Absolutely shocking service, we had our reservation for 8pm and the table wasn't ready. We decided to get a few drinks at the bad. No seating at the bar. We stood while we had drinks until our table was ready. We got seated and placed our orders, two of our mains were out of stock so we picked alternatives. An hour passed and we weren't even served our starter so we decided to leave.

Still a good place after so many years. Lovely service and great selections on the menu.

The overall ambiance is lovely but for the price, and being within a 5 star hotel, a few essentials were a miss:- Should you order wine by the glass, you will not be shown the bottle, or offered to taste. For all you know you could be drinking anything but what you ordered.- The water will be overly poured into your glasses in order to subtly add more bottles to your bill without even checking in on whether you still want more or maybe a change.- Do not order the fish unless you are on a strict diet. The portion is tiny and the parsnip purée, although on the menu, is no more than a decorative drop about the size of a teaspoon.- Despite a generous service charge you will not have the pleasure of a table cloth or complimentary bread.On a more positive note, the staff was very pleasant and competent. The British meat for two was a generous portion, the quality was average.Overall, the place has good potential but doesn’t deliver on its high class pretences.
Nice service. Cocktails great! Food is decent and meets hotel standard!

Service was impeccable - including knowledge of the wine and witty conversations. Great! Was a date and would use venue

Weird vibe - upscale but clubby?

After making a booking and requesting to understand further information about another table for my team, Michelle hung up on me. She did so based on the fact I was inquiring about how to book another table later on that evening for my colleague.I found her to be extremely unhelpful and rude, all I was trying to work out was the best possible options to host my leadership team in full. I came to your restaurant at Christmas and loved it.I am shocked that such a high end quality restaurant has such incredibly poor customer service. You've lost a customer in the short term, however the long term damage to your brand having your staff hang up on customers will be significantly more than that.Really disappointing.AlistairDietary restrictions: Good options
