    A great experience if you are looking for a cosy, moody, opulent and dark beauty ambience to have a slow and glamorous breakfast.

    Blake's excellent restaurant made for a fabulous Valentine's Night. The room is beautifully designed with a fun and lively atmosphere whilst still remaining romantic. There's a great bar which links into the restaurant and it's definitely worth pausing for an aperitif. The perfect place for dinner for 2. The food was first class and the wine list offers a great choice at a wide price range. The service was superb. Well managed and a total delight. Highly recommended.

    Have worked around the corner for 12 years but never been, booked for breakfast with an important client. Ordered two filter coffees - they were lukewarm; ordered poached eggs on toast - got the more expensive (and not requested) poached eggs on toast with avocado, and they were cold and watery; guest ordered toast with his omelette - got two slices of bread in a toast rack; staff terrible at noticing we wanted to change our coffees; bill £48.30. Wont be back.

    Elegant and relaxing! Curry and a gin and tonic were beautiful and excellently prepared. A place to linger and relax.

    We were really excited to dine at this restaurant, the Images of the venue looked wonderful. As we arrived and walked up the steps everything seemed very nice and we were looking forward to a great dining experience, but as soon as we entered we were disappointed. The lobby area is just not presented well and was lacking in structure - I don’t know if a Tuesday was a bad evening to have come or if they were still clearing the Christmas set up, but the area was very lacking. When we then entered the restaurant we were not greeted and had to wander around a bit to find someone to seat us. However once seated the service was by absolutely fine and our waiter was perfect, also the food quality was very good. But I found the course quantity rather small, a scallop starter with only two scallops for £19 just seemed poor value even though they were delicious. With two bottles of wine the meal for two came to £300, food was delicious and the service good, but for that price I would have expected a bit more

    I found the restaurant too dark. The food was average and I felt a little overpriced.
