Relaxed but sophisticated vibes. Perfect place for our celebration meal with a group of mixed ages (85 through to 18) …everyone could hear the conversation. We didn’t feel rushed and our meal was prompt and the service professional. Everybody thought the ribeye on the bone was the hero. Don’t miss out on the octopus with harissa.

I found No. 10 restaurant to have a great inviting atmosphere. The tables were spaced out enough for private conversation. We ordered a main & a small plate and shared between the 2 of us. Which was a lovely meal. Beside our table was a cutlery tray for staff to collect new cutlery for tables. I found it was quite noisy when staff collected the cutlery to dress tables when I was eating my dinner. So, I suggest maybe find another place for the staff to collect cutlery
