• "Atmosphere was bit flat."
• "Whilst there is a lovely sense of intimacy, there is a lack of atmosphere not helped by being able to overhear conversations on adjoining tables."
• "The downstairs seating is lacking in atmosphere."
• "Expect a formal-ish atmosphere, but there will be lots of tourists there as well."

Value

Pros:

• "The price for me with a good glass of wine is £45 so is really reasonable for the food quality."
• "Food was delicious, reasonably priced, especially considering where the restaurant is."
• "A really wonderful respite from the Mile. Worth the stop. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food."
• "Incredible food and surprisingly reasonable prices."
• "Three course lunch menu was very good value for money, considering the quality and the great location."
• "The prices are also really reasonable. Don't get me wrong the positions aren't huge (as you'd expect from a restaurant this) but considering the quality of ingredients and great drink selection I was surprised it didn't cost a lot more."
• "Set lunch very reasonable price."

Cons:

• "Tried this so called chic restaurant this evening... My wife and I ordered the shoulder of lamb... Which for £18 seemed reasonable.. However.. When we received our meal it turned out to be two very small cuts of lamb...Not a shoulder of lamb.... A bit of a rip off.. Big time."
• "Over £80 for two starters, two mains, one large and one small glass of wine and one pudding."
• "Then they have the gall to request a 12.5 discretionary service tip and not give us the option not to pay it..."
• "However, the prices are too high for the food we get."
• "Nice food cooked very very well. Wine is a bit expensive though (£11.50 for 175ml merlot)."
• "Fairly pricey."
• "£4 for a small bottle is a way too much."
