With a magnificent reputation I went here expecting great things. I was let down. Whilst the staff were fine and the décor enchanting, the food was not particularly appealing. None the less, it seems to get its share of glamour. At the table on one side was Mark Owen (Take That) and on the other side was Brian Ferry. This did not make up for a lacklustre performance from the chefs though. I wouldn't bother if I were you.

I ate here recently for a special occasion, otherwise it's not the sort of place I would usually go. The food was excellent although a little over expensive. Definitely worth going if you want to try something a bit different (roe deer with chocolate sauce?!). The staff were also excellent - attentive without being annoying, very polite, and not as stuffy as I first imagined. The wine list is MASSIVE. It really does cater for all tastes (and purse sizes). So if you know exactly what you are after then you are fine, otherwise there is alot of reading to do!
Overall, very good, but best to save for a special occasion.

I have to say there was noone famous there when we went but some man did get down on one knee and propose to his girlfriend and the waiting staff all clapped and cheered...as did we...like something out of an american rom/com. It's that kind of restaurant. Decor is like it is from the film set of Narnia, excellent food especially the butter and bread varieties you get whilst waiting for your starters. We didn't order the £1000 bottle of wine off the menu but instead the cheapest on the menu at £24. For a fancy night out that you'll pay the price for I'd recommend but for the one off occasion.
