"This is one of my favourite places in London and I normally recommend it to my friends and people I know are big foodies. This restaurant has been a staple of my London life since 1992, the year I moved to Uk, and it has always been consistent, faultless, and just perfect. The ambience is still good, the food is still good, the lack of attention to detail and the rushed, careless service from our waiter a short, bald guy that was probably rushed off or simply too busy to cope with guests asking for guidance on wines, or desserts, leaving us meanwhile we were talking to him, mid-sentence), is simply unbelievable. If you are busy, I understand, but leaving us meanwhile we are deciding, or asking your opinion, is not ok, no matter how you want to look at it. It happened twice, when I was asking for advise on the wine, and then again when we were trying to order the desserts. I am ok with waiting, I am ok with receiving the starters before the wine we ordered, I am ok with leaving the langoustine shelves on the table for a long time and getting the wine at the wrong temperature, and not clearing a small table, not replacing the dirty plates and cutlery, and not bringing the new cutlery, but it is not ok to tell us in an angry way to move a very small iPhone so he could put the new food on the table without having cleared the dirty plates and cutlery which were there for a long time first. This was also a birthday dinner for my best friend, and this was specified in the reservation. Of course it was ignored and nothing was mentioned or even acknowledged during our dinner. Again, I am astonished by how badly things have gone in one of my favourite places on the service side. We ordered the smoked mackerel and the langoustines to start with, the pork chop with fennel and the hake with anchoiade, plus a very good Chassagne Montrachet, and a brownie with blackcurrant and creme fraiche, together with a meringue with pear and chocolate sauce . I am very sad to say I am not rushing to go back . Which is a shame, as I was very fond of this restaurant."

Big disappointment. Our server was rude and the food was way below pair. Won’t come back.

A delightful and cosy little restaurant in the heart of Soho that evokes an older and more bohemian London. The menu and wine list are top class as is the service. My venison was an excellent dish for a cold London day! View menu

The worst meal I have had in a long time. Food was bland and over priced. The 'black rice ' dish we ordered was just a bowl of oily lentils with some chunks of beetroot. The 'greens ' were a bowl of cold, over-salted cabbage. Would not go back.

This restaurant was such a lovely experience! With its small and cosy nature, we were immediately welcomed into the restaurant by the kind staff and had a lovely evening! Not only was the atmosphere phenomenal, but the food was exquisite! It was hard to even choose where to start!

The food is nice and reasonably inexpensive for Soho. I wouldn’t rush back in case I was sat in the cold, dark empty basement again though. The waiter was very rude and made quite a big deal after I discreetly and politely asked to move upstairs, where there was still some empty tables. He told me to make my own atmosphere and kept referring to my request to move in front of my guests. It’s an a mid range bistro right down to the style of food, paper napkins and the churlish maitre d. The waitress is pleasant and polite. View menu

I have been here a few times, but the last time before tonight was many years ago. Well, it is still as great as I remember it. The food is spectacular and the staff is just GREAT. I was being slow in deciding my main but the staff accommodated my request to switch the vegetables in the main with different vegetables from another main, without making me feel an annoyance or embarrassed, which I really appreciated it. They also have an incredible, long, superb list of French wines. We had a fantastic Pomerol and I was able to finally taste a Muscat de Baumes de Venise at the end of my meal. FANTASTIC PLACE

I have been looking forward to taking my Mum here for months, I had saved up to have a really special evening but from the start I was disappointed… We were rudely greeted by Alice with “come in” and then “do you have a reservation” after it was very clearly stated on the door, only reservations were welcome! After a few minutes we were asked “do you know what you want” in a very impolite manner. All of this set the president for a very fine evening…not. We were sat near the bar and the hosts did not act professionally or make their frustrations unclear. At one point Alice huffed very loudly, this was one way amongst others that she made it very clear she did not want to be there or host us...
