"Bit of mixed evening slow start and bad ending. BAR Great decor but perhaps as we came earliesh (5pm? was not fully staffed so had to flag down the server to take our order. OK cocktails but nothing special. No bar snacks. We felt ignored. FOOD Absolutely great brasserie cuisine. The chops especially nice as seasoned to perfection and sliced off the bone. Fun retro (1980s desert trolley with drawers. Again excellent food all around. WINE Charming sommelier who listened and recommended a surprisingly and smashing white! STAFF Heaps of them but not sure they are very well organized. Friendly but cater and pander (very very obviously to regulars and celebs. Made us feel abit 2nd class honestly and we definitely were not the staff's priority. DOG POLICY None on website BUT a medium/large poodle nearby us was allowed and it barked and barked loud enough for the entire dining room to notice. The owner nor the staff took any proactive action to resolve this. Our dessert course was absolutely ruined for 30 minutes. We did mention to manager and he said he would look into the policy but did not take any action at the time. We love animals but they belong at home not in a restaurant we paid nearly £300 for dinner! Utterly unacceptable. Per Covid this would never happen. RECOMMENDED Absolutely NOT unless you are a dog lover, lesser royal, cast member of Made in Chelsea or a posh regular who lives round the corner "

"Good food but not worth the price The dishes were not individually priced just said three courses for £45. I had a snack £6) and two courses. I was charged £40 for the two courses as well as £6 for the snack. The two courses comprised trout with vegetables and two scoops of ice cream. Both courses were very nice but no way were the worth £40. These are Michelin level prices but not equivalent standard of food."
