The food here is fantastic. A special shoutout to the chef for the pan fried sea bass - it was cooked to perfection and incredibly delicious. It was most certainly the best sea bass I had ever eaten. Very attentive and friendly service as well.

I am addressing those who intend to book through TheFork taking advantage of the discount by exchanging Yums.Stay away as these scammers because of they canceled my reservation, with only two hours notice, with a simple email and not via The Fork app.This is to avoid any sanctions, but I have already taken steps to report their incorrect behavior.

This is my second time and I'm really impressed with allAspects. Very comfortable seating. Airy attractive room, lighting just right and you can hear yourself and your guests speak. Amazing service. Clever mouth watering menu with creative quirks that work seamlessly I tasted everyone's dishes and all wereAbsolutely delicious. My only aside is that the chef needs to lighten up on the amount of salt used and some of the desserts are a bit too fussy. The crumble though was stunning. If you're seeing a play or movie in the area this is a must for before or after meal. ?

To start, let me be clear the food here is good and what you'd expect for the price. Unfortunately there are many other places within walking distance where the food is good, and at those you will get a matching level of good service.The service here really let it down. We had most our courses come out whilst our dirty dishes were still on our table. The waiter with the tray of food would stand around waiting for another waiter to come over, remove the dirty dishes and then find new sets of cutlery. The whole time we can see our food standing next to the table. The waiters predominantly spoke on whispers making it extremely hard to hear them.Lastly when the bill came the waiter asked if we wanted a card machine and said he would be right back with it. Around 15 minutes later with no sight of our waiter we had to flag down another one to pay. This is already after having to flag down someone to bring the bill, which was not easy given how rarely it felt like a waiter was anywhere close to the table.Unfortunately, the food here although good is nothing to shout about compared to the rest of the good food in London and I won't be going back considering the other experiences I can get at a similar price point.

Worst dining experience so far. We booked a table for Valentine's Day, and it was the worst possible choice, we really regretted it. Terrible service with an unpleasant hostess who was serving at the same time. We certainly arrived a few minutes late (impossible to contact them to notify them because they don't answer the phone) but not a smile, no friendliness. We were then seated at a table next to each other without any privacy and all this in a dark atmosphere as the light barely illuminated our tables. Then comes the meal... a starter and then a 1.5 hour wait to get what's next, our table neighbors had the same experience and had to stay in this restaurant for 3 hours in order to get through their endless evening, Other neighbors even left without having eaten because the wait was so long. Understaffed, the evening team was constantly in a rush and had the luxury of being unpleasant. We left this dinner frustrated before dessert because there was concrete abuse there. For this price we expect at least a minimum of consideration. Food was just ok. Thank you all the same to Louise who took over the service and who was the most professional and friendly during this long evening. To avoid, we are also very surprised by the number of positive reviews.

The environment in the store is comfortable and the sofa is easy to sit on. The calamari £14.5 is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not too spicy and delicious. The tortellini £20 is very thick and the sauce is not greasy. The marinated baby chicken £24 has a fragrant marinade but the meat is not tender. The location is excellent. It's a great place to take a rest after you're tired from shopping.

Great moment, with tasty food, and excellent service. The music is a bit high, except that everything was perfect : food, service, wine.

We had a lovely Christmas lunch at this restaurant. It was very pleasant. The tables are placed a bit too close one to another but I guess it was Christmas. Special mention to Joy.

Amazing food and excellent service. Awin was amazing. The food is to die for and the service had a good cadence so it didn't take forever to have a top notch meal. I am a huge fan. We always go to Whitcomb's when in London.

The setting of the restaurant is fabulous as is the cuisine served there. Impeccable welcome and service. Ideal place for a romantic dinner.

I expected something more for the price. Good quality. Steak tartare has nothing to do with the authentic one.
