"Food was exceptional, and the service as perfect was invited to take as many pictures as I liked, too, even though it was packed."
"Great, creative Italian food."
"The spaghetti with botarga and lemon was delicious."
"Lobster as starter - superb!!! Turbot or pidgeon - absolutely fantastic!!!"
"The Ravioli and pesto was incredible, and the almond/strawberry tart is one of the best desserts I've ever eaten."
"The lobster risotto was good."
Cons:
"Overall the food was bland and uninspiring."
"The food was alright... but if you are paying top dollar you expect top dollar food, so it was incredibly underwhelming."
"Foods were bland overall when it comes down to flavour and seasoning."
"The food really is unjustifiably expensive and so dull."
"Approximately £37 for a plate of ravioli that did not taste like anything, and approximately £57 for fish is a robbery."
"The food was surprisingly lack lustre."
"The food was just not very good."
Service
Pros:
"The service was however professional yet personable and I enjoyed being able to see the entire kitchen."
"Our server, Louie, was so delightful, helpful, and attentive."
"Service is very good, although I would agree it feels a little busy."
"Service was excellent, kudos to our waiter Max who was so attentive and tuned in to his customers’ needs."
"The waiting staff were brilliant."
"Friendly service. Excellent."
"Great service, a friendly smile from everyone there."
Cons:
"We only ever got asked once at the beginning of the meal if we wanted a drink."
"Our waitress was incompetent, service was poor and definitely not appropriate considering the amount of money we spent."
"Poor service, was rushed the entire meal to order and eat quickly."
"The waitress that served us was rude."
"Service was very mediocre (at best!)."
"Service was pretty amateurish. Very little experience with fine dining serving methods."
"The service was appalling."
Ambiance
Pros:
"This is a very special place. First of all, you have incredible views, it’s a quiet place, cause it’s in a residential zone."
"You can feel the night is about to get good when you walk into the doors and are greeted by beaming smiles, warmth of a kitchen and the aroma of butter and garlic."
"The staff was outstanding, the ambiance is great."
"I loved the decor and it felt instantly very singular compared of all the many restaurants I have dined at across the city - clean, fresh, fun but also reminiscent of a cool bar in a late 90s/early 00s rom com."
"Great atmosphere in general."
"The garden is really nice."
"The place is also really cool and has lovely outside seating."
Cons:
"The inside is very casual, quite badly decorated and feels like a canteen."
"I also thought the atmosphere was surprisingly corporate and lacked character."
"Given the reputation and prices, I had much higher expectations and everything about this restaurant is a bit of a let down; the atmosphere is like a cafeteria, it’s very noisy."
"Interiors and ambiance were reminiscent of a cheap cafeteria."
"The restaurant interiors are old with a long 90s style bar which just felt weird."
"Interior decor looked like some cheap cafe."
"Blue carpet looked cheap and tacky."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The set menu is reasonable for the portion and the taste."
"Although pricy, it will always be a place to return to for special occasions."
"It's expensive but absolutely worth the money."
"Even though the food was tasteful, I still think the prices were a bit too high."
"The whole experience was well worth the high price tag."
"Excellent fish entrees, but pastas while excellent, are a touch small though. Pricey but you get what you pay for."
"The food was delicious- fresh and great flavours."
Cons:
"The food is lovely but so is the food at our local Italian restaurant which does not charge £45 for main courses."
"It is a great place for a special occasion and the food is good, but it is expensive and overpriced."
"The price is ridiculously expensive compared to the quality of the food."
"Bill was almost £100 per person for an entrée, a main, dessert and a glass of wine."
"No idea how the pricing structure works here but genuinely amazed that they think £14 for an affogato or £58 for lamb and chickpeas is justifiable in any way!"
"£300 for lunch for 2 people. 2 starters, 2 mains, shared a pudding and a cheese board with 3 tiny pieces of cheese which cost £18!"
"It’s highly overpriced in my opinion (24£ for a mini pizza, 25£ for a soup, up to 50£ for a main)."
