   Amazing experience, authentic high quality British food, my English father was impressed with the fish and chips and he grew up on London fish shops so that speaks for itself. It’s also the only bar in America I’ve ever seen pornstar martinis on the menu and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Our server was wonderful and the ambiance is perfect as well! Thank you for a great night!

   Excellent Indian British fusion. Very expensive for lunch though. Special occasion definitely.

   Service was super slow and we were one of five groups in the restaurant. Food was pretty good though.

   Food was excellent and came out quick. The date sticky pudding was a great way to end the meal!

   From the moment I walked in and saw the beutiful modern wood bar, to the impeccable service by every staff member we interacted with, to the wonderfully prepared and presented food, everything was wonderful! I do not usually give out 5 stars in all categories, but this establishment deserves it!!

   If you're trying to go on a romantic date/are a foodie, I don't know that this restaurant is for you. However, if you're looking for a solid place to get a decent cocktail with co-workers after work/ are traveling with colleagues and want to use that per diem, I would recommend! The cocktails were satisfying, and the pretzel fondue was great.

   Was recommended to us coming in from out of town and it’s a fantastic spot. Drinks were phenomenal and the food was amazing. Would come back again when in town. Some of the best gin drinks

    Literally go anywhere else. It’s a beautiful restaurant but it seems like they haven’t figured out what they’re doing. French, English, and Indian foods all coming together, there’s not a specific vibe. There appeared to be one waiter for the whole place. We sat waiting for him to come back just so we could get our bill and go. Very slow service and it was expensive. Not worth it
