"The food, meanwhile, was as outstanding as you'd expect from a former head chef at Le Gavroche, one Nicolas Laridan." READ REVIEW

"Go on, go. You'll have a good dinner, especially if you stick to classics like creamy, garlicky moules or a rosemary-scented rack of pinkly perfect lamb." READ REVIEW

"But here is the thing. Everything we order is terrible. Two terrines, one salad, one steak tartare, one steak frites, one choucroute and one bottle of overpriced underwhelming wine. All awful." READ REVIEW

"That and two glasses of white with our starters brought our bill to a not inconsiderable £130 including service, but unlike a similar amount at York & Albany, I don’t begrudge a penny of it for a food and service that shows what a place can do on opening if it sets its mind to it." READ REVIEW
