"We had high expectations for 28-50, and chose it for our one night in London. Sadly, it disappointed in every way. Although they had 30 by-the-glass options from many different regions, the majority of the offerings were a sad representation of mass-produced product. The service, though, is what really destroyed our experience. I try out wine bars in every city I visit as I’ve been in the wine business for 20 years, and put on dozens of tastings a year. This place was the bottom of the, err … barrel. The evening started fine enough with a decent cheese platter and passable. Chablis. But the strong start went rapidly downhill from there. One member of our party ordered a red, a simple Bordeaux, which was served lukewarm. It is unforgivable for a wine bar to not keep their wines at the proper temperature! But the biggest faux-pas came when the second glass I ordered, the Tuscan blend, showed up with a very low pour. It was certainly less than 2.5 ounces. I asked the server if they thought I had asked for the 75ml taster size, and instead of replying, they sent over the sommelier, Simone. He looked at the crappy pour in my glass, and said “let me check for you”. We just assumed he would return with the bottle and top it off correctly, but instead he went back to the bar and played around for several minutes with the glasses and pourers. He returned and proclaimed, “that was my mistake, I gave your companions too much wine in their glass”. (Believe me, NONE of the pours were generous). The four of us (three who are also in the hospitality business) were entirely dumbfounded that he would think this was the correct way to deal with things. From that point on everything went downhill. The food was borderline inedible. Seared tuna was just a mushy piece, with no sear. The tomato salad was made with low-quality tasteless produce. The steak was equally low-quality and incorrectly cooked. We left so much food on our plates, but the undertrained servers just swept them away, never asking if there was a issue. So this is the place to go to if you want bad food and boring offerings of wine priced 4 times what it would cost retail, some served at the wrong temperature, and get ripped off by underpours. Most of the wines on the list are $20 bottles sold in the supermarket. For example, La Crema (by Kendal Jackson) for Pinot Noir, or Lucas for Bordeaux. Other anemic offerings (although served at the correct temperature) were the bland Nebbiolo and Super Tuscan. Their highest priced, top-shelf wine at 28 a glass, is a ultra-modern Bordeaux by Kendall Jackson, Lassègue which tastes more like a cheap Napa Red. Those of us in the wine industry consider that wine a joke. As is 25-80."

kellnerin seemed a bit boring and really inattentive. eating came very fast, so not sure whether risotto was not already prepared, but it was quite delicious. my tussi was good and was the court of the day.

We stopped here to share a bottle of wine. Contrary to some other recent reviews, we thought the service attentive and pleasant. We chose the cheapest white wine (Portuguese) and it was very slippy-downy. So no complaints!

Had a business meeting here and an ideal location. Very close to the tube, good drinks menu and also very good coffee. Friendly staff too. They opened up the doors too which opened up onto the local streets so felt European! Nice change for London.

Had a great meal here the other night with a friend. We tried a few dishes off the menu and shared them all. Everything we had was delicious. The staff were friendly and the service was very good. Thy regularly checked up on us and the sommelier recommended a wine that paired well with our choices. Can't wait to return!

Went for lunch with a friend and was surprised by how good the food was. As I wasn’t in the mood to take a main dish and wanted to try more dishes I went for the octopus and sharing platter. Little did I know that the portions were very generous but it didn’t disappoint. Had a pleasant and tasty lunch at this place and would definitely go back.

First time and won't be our last. Went for our daughter's birthday, she is getting into wine and has been on a WSET course. The good looking French Sommelier picked this up almost immediately and spent some time at the table talking about their concept and the wine list, he also offered us a few tasters so that he could have a better understanding of what we liked before we picked our bottle. We ended up having 3! The food is fresh and presentation is excellent. And thanks to the bartender for the birthday cocktail. View menu

The food was really good, the service not so much. The restaurant was pretty much empty when we arrived and by the end of the night there was just us and another couple left there; nonetheless we waited more than 20 minutes between the entrees and the main courses and then for the rest of the time it looked like they forgot about us. We had to ask for dessert and coffe, each time stopping a waiter that was passing by us. The ambiance is nice, the only issue is that the lighting was very soft and we couldn’t really see our food. Overall a good experience but definitely could have been better

in an enclave in the quietest part of the marylebone lane only north of the wigmore street, this filiale offers a sophisticated oasis from the truppet of the oxford street. a little quiet this Monday lunch break despite the tempting of a discount on eating. I took a table at the side next to the bar with view of the social managerin the chain talking business with a male sommelier. was impressed by a mushroom soup with slices of the Cep variety with a whirl of cream, followed by a beautifully marbled ribeye steak frits with bear sauce. maybe a little distracted when the social manager took off her willing jumper, I knocked accidentally over the metal basket, which tipped some frit on the flo...
