Food Quality

• "The food was absolutely delicious, we had scallops to start, two people had the fish special and the pastas were also spot on."

Cons:

• "The chocolate nemesis was not actually that chocolatey."
• "Poorly presented they looked dull uninspiring and tasted bland. Overcooked asparagus is unforgivable in a place taking itself this seriously."

• "Although the food was nice, although the burgers were very cold."
• "The menu did not change at all compared to March, the food was ok, but this time rather bland."
• "The food, however, was below average. Dishes were simple, which is not the issue, but also tasteless."

• "The only negative point is the relatively quite high price."
• "But the regular menu is more pricy."
• "Very overpriced in certain bits of the menu."
• "The ambience is amazing, but the price for the portions is ridiculously exorbitant - more than even some London restaurants!"
