What a perfect meal! It is such a charming venue with wonderful service and a lovely welcoming staff. Had the scallops to start and it was the best seafood I had while in London. So fresh and such a creamy sauce. Perfect crispy mushrooms on top. Went beautifully with the chenin blanc. Then had a half order of the roast chicken with a glass of Corsica red. Felt like a little Paris neighborhood bistro. I went by myself and felt like an old friend. Many happy small groups there as well.

Table service a bit off: bread appetiser did not arrive, the starters did! Had to ask for the bread. Had to ask for the glasses of white wine which were ordered at the time of the food and were meant to arrive when the aperitifs were finished. Asked for one dessert and two forks: two desserts arrived. Saving grace was the food-delicious

Me and my girlfriend took the sausages with mash potatoes, pees and gravy sauce, delicious. The ambient is normal but has a good mood. I'd return there.
