Staff friendly and helpful. Service fast. Food good- Seared Kobe Beef, Pork and Lamb Bao Buns, Salmon Taco delicious but Katsu Chicken Curry disappointing, bland stoggy. I like the fact they have lots of round tables, which I find better for conversation than rectangular tables.

Our dining experience was excellent. This was my favorite meal while visiting London, but also one of the best ever. The carbonara was delicious and the wine suggested by the sommelier was perfect. I will happily return the next time I am in London.

Service and food was fantastic. We ordered 2 types of Toro and the Tomahawk Steak. Beef cooked to perfection and fish was butter. We’d come back for sure.

Buzzing busy atmosphere, live jazz, impressive dining space. Nice wine and food is excellent. As is the service. Onion soup is amazing and I could eat the beef bourguignon every day. Vegetarians should check fish dishes that might arrive with bacon etc.
