"For my main course, I had the Rump Steak, which was cooked rare as per the butcher's recommendation on the menu. This was truly the best steak I can recall. It had an incredible smokiness, as if it had been grilled over coal. I suspect they use a grill capable of reaching very high temperatures, providing a steak that's far superior to anything cooked at home. It was served with hearty chunky chips, a few sautéed green beans, some unsweetened arugula, and watercress, accompanied by a delicious herb butter. I didn't taste my companion's hake fillet dish, but it looked wonderful. It featured crispy skin and a lemon-butter emulsion with fresh mint, along with pan-roasted cucumber. For dessert, I ordered the dark chocolate fondant, which was beautifully executed with a gooey center. It was topped with a crispy mix of nuts and crushed pralines, adding a delightful crunch. My companion had the crème brûlée with fresh berries. The rich custard was sprinkled with some celestial flakes beneath the caramel top, which was caramelized to a rather dark shade. Personally, I prefer the complexity of a dark caramel that possesses a slightly bitter edge. We enjoyed a bottle of rosé Grenache, which was excellent and fruity. I also ordered a glass of the house red to accompany my steak. We took advantage of some discounts at the beginning, but at full price, our meal including service would have totaled £97—and it was worth every penny. Don’t forget to check out the stylish restrooms, complete with artistic cork designs that align with the overall theme."

The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was really nice; I would definitely recommend this place. The food was decent, but the selection and quality of the wine were excellent.

My only complaint is that the duck wasn’t hot but the chips were so I presume there was a mismatch on timings in the kitchen. The duck was excellent otherwise. The madeleines were absolutely exquisite and I hope they’re on the menu next time I come.

Absolutely fantastic evening, few glasses of delicious wine and hearty flavoursome food. Really friendly staff who are knowledgeable and make the experience even more inviting. Keisha in particular really stood out for her warmth and expertise. The environment has lovely low lighting and it’s warm and spacious. Will definitely be back. View menu

Really delicious lunch before a matinee at the Almeida we tried a good range of dishes and had excellent advice on wine from the friendly staff. Very quiet when we were there but it was early and we were told there were lots more bookings a bit later. Interesting menu, very well cooked. Looking forward to a return visit so we can sample more!

Alessandro was great! He recommended a very good Italian wine for our aperitif, however As appetiser we choose a mix of charcuterie and cheese and for 2 small slices of cheese, 6 slices of prosciutto (2 bresaola, 2 Parma ham and 2 coppa), 2,5 slices of bread the cost we got charged for was £26, way above average even if it was New Year’s Eve, and unfortunately the coppa wasn’t fresh at all (which can be easily identify from its colour). We had a nice time but I would not recommend this place and I would not probably come back again.
