A superb experience from start to finish!On entrance we were greeted warmly and our coats taken. No wait for a table, with our research and the waiters dealing with us were all Knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and funny.The food was outstanding with amazing quality and quantity, which goes for drink too.This place isn't cheap (about £100 a head for 3 courses and drink) but absolutely worth every penny!Can't wait to go back

Nice ambiance and interior. The duck confit and the beef Wellington were pretty good and up to expectations. Only major thing was me and a friend both had the venison tartar to start and had stomach aches later that night, but not sure if that is 100% attributable to the venison. I’d say it’s worth a visit (but you may want to avoid the tartar).

Refurbished a year ago, it is a beautiful setting. Bold green pattern on the wall, with green and turquoise, ochre and dark stained wood. Very stilish indeed.The food is delicious. Starter of tuna tartare and tempura prawn. Beautiful combination of flavours and textures and very well presented.Main of monkfish. Cooked to perfection! Harissa on the side it was very hot. The salad, light and perfectly seasoned.Creme brulee, with a thicker texture but utterly delicious, a fitting end to a wonderful meal.In brief, classy and elegant with delicious food and superb service. Not to mention a touch of magic with the very accomplished young lady playing the harp in the evening, just delightful. Very highly recommended!

What started out as a glass of wine catching up with a friend eventually turned into an amazing early dinner.The menu offers enough variety for everyone’s palate. I had the poached pear salad and the chicken. And of course doughnuts for dessert, by which time I was so full I could not finish! All beautifully presented and full of flavours. And what about those truffle fries??A must visit special spot ever so slightly off the Knightsbridge beaten track.High recommend even if it’s just for a glass of wine or a cocktail

Memorable for the wrong reasons. Came with a friend for Sunday roast. The lamb was chewy and way too salty for me, like gammon or salt beef. The Yorkshire pudding was dried out. Only the roast potatoes were reasonably edible. My friend had monkfish which he said was not bad. Maybe I was just unlucky but it reminded me of bad school lunches and how British food used to have the reputation of being the worst in the world, especially in the bleak post-war period. The waitress was polite and attentive when it came asking if we wanted to order anything else, but didn't ask how our food was when she collected our dishes and could see I had hardly touched mine. I couldn't wait to get out of there and and like an archetypical Brit suppressed my urge to moan.

Great atmosphere and good service. The food was nice but my Monkfish was bland. Mussels were fresh and tasty. And the duck from set menu was great.

Booked a reservation here for afternoon tea because it was walking distance from Harrods. I’m happy I did! The staff were great! I was able to leave my backpack with the concierge so I didn’t have to worry about it while I dine. Some of the staff members spoke Spanish which was a nice touch of home for me. Our server was informative about the different types of teas and which experience would be best for first-timers. The atmosphere was quite nice, the interior design has a playful charm to it with tall windows which allow natural light into the space during the day. The tea, sandwiches, desserts, and scones were all delicious! Definitely will be back when I visit London again!

I went to this restaurant with my husband and a friend of us, when we visited London a few weeks ago.The service was very friendly and attentive. All of us ordered the Capital Burger and after that a dessert. The burger was okay but nothing special. The dessert was very good.Unfortunately during the night, two of us got sick. I even had to vomit. The other day also my husband got problems with his stomach. There must be something wrong with the meat in the burger, as all of us three got problems.After our visit, I wrote an email to the restaurant to describe what happened, so it won‘t happen again to other guests. It is a pity that I never got an answer back, that‘s why I need to write this review now.

Robert was an absolute pleasure he guided us to our seats and came back to check we were okay during and after our meal. Our meal was served by Matt who was so sweet! Énrico the manager was very knowledgeable on the wine and helped us pick one similar to the one we had before and suggested some other great wines All in all fantastic! Will be coming back

Overpriced inedible food. No response to feedback. It was very quiet,, should have been a red flag.
