1) Duck dish - nice presentation, but it’s so fishy smelling which makes the small portion no longer an issue
2) Deep fried chicken dish - overcooked and as a result very bitter and it’s not even crispy! It’s so oily and the sauce didn’t help
3) Beef steak - sliced very thinly but at the same time very cold and chewy, the sides overpowered the steak and not in a good way
I left hungry, disappointed and felt I got robbed, not the first Michelin restaurant I have been to but definitely the most disappointed one. Save yourself and run, very angry at the 5 stars review as they misled me into believing this will be a good experience which as you can see is quite the opposite!
The quality of the food was DIVINE, as well as the service.
A big thanks to all the staff that made us feel very pampered through the evening.
We hope to come back soon, in the meantime I will recommend the place to every single person I know.

Modern and unpretentious, has an understated elegance and it's effortlessly stylish with a touch of class. It has a very relaxed and soothing vibe, no doubt helped by the soft palette of colours and textures and the excellent service. The soft creams and light browns gives it a calm feeling and compliment the light stained wooden floors and darker table and chairs. Even the huge ventilation ducts exposed overhead are perfectly integrated.
Bifolding doors open to the terrace area seamlessly connecting indoors and outdoors. Very accomplished.
The food was delicious. Starter of sliced soy poached duck, green olives. Main of Torbay monkfish, braised peppers: the combination of flavours and textures amazing. Dessert flourless chocolate cake. All perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.
As a bonus, there is a private function room downstairs with a wonderfully almost intoxicating smell.
A beautiful restaurant with delicious food, great staff and excellent service. Special mention to Sunny: incredibly attentive and professional, from the moment you step in and he welcomes you, you know you know you are in a special place and you're in for a treat.
Very highly recommended!
Great cocktails - those really exceeded my expectations!
It's fine dining but relaxed. The decor is gorgeous and the social distancing has been as intelligently incorporated into the aesthetic as I have seen anywhere. V much recommend!
Great service, even found a fellow Spurs fan, but don’t let that put you off!
Starter was recommended to me by waiter and the blooming onion was amazing! Followed with the slices of sirloin steak with green veg and potatoes alongside a carafe of pinot noir.
Really enjoyed the experience and the vodka martini was pretty good too!
Delighted that there’s a small terrace with heaters as dogs are allowed there 👍
