My husband and I are from Houston, Texas where food and service are second to none; therefore, our standards are quite high! That being said, we were truly impressed by the service and food of this exceptional restaurant in Christmas Day!

The room is very elegant and pleasant. The food was great - scallops almost perfect, amazing duck (referred to as rabbit by the waiter but that did not affect its taste). Baked figs disappointed compared to the rest of the dishes. The real disappointment is the wine list - most positions not available and no choice whatsoever under £100 per bottle. The wines on offer are mostly in the £200-700 range. This felt very weird but maybe that was the way Mr Francatelli saw high dining in mid-19th century.

We had a gorgeous meal, the service was impeccable and the attention to detail was great. Unfortunately there was an infestation of fruit flies and this did impact the overall ambience of the experience.
