    I had a pre show (Albert Hall) dinner so attended at a quiet time (5.30pm) but the restaurant still had a nice vibe. I imagine it is very nice later on in the evening. Fantastic service and my food was delicious. Really great location - prices extremely reasonable given that location I feel.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Decor quite dated, and tables v close together. A mix up with the order meant a delay to one dish, but they took it off the bill without being asked. Food portions were of a reasonable size, but just not amazing food.

    The food was excellent. The service was very good with the exception of a small mistake, which caused one of the entries to arrive late. I would definitely return.
