"Beautiful spot tucked away in the sidestreets of Mayfair, such an exclusive feel about the location. Greeted by discreet but friendly doormen and a warm, welcoming hostess. We were a little early which wasnt a problem, were seated at the bar where we had Bellini and a very light battered and deep fried zuchini! Delicious. Seated at a table for 2 in the middle of this bustling restaurant, its a great place to people watch, there were one or two celebs there and a premiership footballer the night we went. It was my birthday and even though the staff didnt know this we were treated like celebs ourselves.Next we ordered a mixed plate of Sushi, it was immaculately prepared and the choice was amazing, from scallop to tuna steak, lobster to salmon. Amazing.We then had mixed starters, steak tartar which was smooth, rich and moreish, a tomato and bread sauce with delicious home baked bread and a lovely spicy sausage sliced onto thin fried bread. Next for mains we had the black cod... now this was special, i would recommend to any fish fan... the memory of this dish will stay with me forever. My partner had veal which was also to die for and a selection of side dishes. Desert came a just when we thought we couldeat no more we were recommended to try the home made ice cream and chocolate cake to share, unbelievable, simple but perfection. We finished on some very interesting lemon sorbet and vodka (i think) cocktails which I have never tried before, they were exceptional and a great way to end what was a truly memorable night. Yes, it was a bit more expensive than going to your usual west end restaurant but you know that before you go. A remarkable evening filled with 5* service and authentic, completely delicious food."
