I had dinner here yesterday, with a great friend of mine, to celebrate his birthday and I don't think he could have picked up any better place for such special occasion. Would give 6 stars if I could! And here's why:
- Impecable service, from a warm welcome by the staff, the moment you walk in, to the extremely polite and pleasant waiters who took care of our experience throughout.
- The atmosphere is lovely. Tables are arranged in a way that everyone can enjoy beautiful views of Tower Bridge and London iconic skyscrapers by night. The room isn't loud - you can easily have a conversation without having to scream, and there is no such staff-running-around vibes.
- Waiters KNOW the menu in detail and are made aware - in advance - of any special requests made upon reservation. For diners with food Intolerances like myself - believe me - this makes you feel welcome, well taken care of, and reassured that every recommendation made on the menu is taking your needs into account - it's PARADISE.
- Excellent menu options, from the couvert to the desserts, as well as the wide wine list. The quality and freshness of the ingredients, as well as cooking skill, are perceived immediately. We ordered the Halibut and the Salmon fillets, both seasoned and cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, paired with lovely velvety sauces, and served WARM (although this may sound obvious, is def not a #1 rule in most restaurants).
- The entire course was served on impecable timing. You don't feel like you've waited too long for any dish and, even more important, they don't rush you to make your choices, finish your plates or leave (such as bringing the bill before it's been asked for - which I always find extremely rude).
- All dishes were definitely worth the price! For the record, it is not outrageous - 100% in line with other venues in the same standard around London. Most dishes can be made gluten / dairy free as well - at no extra charge - which is worth mentioning.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience. Overall, it is perfectly suitable for special occasions - friends, family, couples - or for those days when you just want to treat yourself with incredibly tasty food and not worry about a thing.
Thank you very much for everyone involved!
We'll definitely be coming back! ❤️
