It was my wife's birthday and we needed someone fairly close after the Spurs! We arrived at 8:30 for our reservation at 9pm so had a nice drink out on the side terrace. All our food was amazing. My Soufle starter, incredible and then the Fillet Steak, beautifully cooked medium rare and served with a very generous portion of lovely French Fries. My Cherry Chocolate mousse was gorgeous too! My wife enjoyed all her dishes too. It was a lovely evening. The restaurant was packed, although it was a Saturday night. We both had 3 courses. A lovely half bottle of Macon Villages at £29 and a bottle of red for about £40. It came to alot but we enjoyed it all! Will bring the family for lunch next time...

Good attentive service for pre show meal. Choices for vegetarian limited but the gnocchi were delicious. Delightful location & decor - very convenient for several major theatres.
