   Unfortunately, when we dined there there were at least 5 menu items unavailable and as the menu is not extensive, this limited choice noticeably. I would have thought that in a restaurant only yards away from Harrods and in central London, maintaining their stock of ingredients would be pretty straightforward. Also, choosing a wine from the wine list resulted in a visit to the 'cellar' by the server only for her to return and say it was out of stock for two different choices. Eventually we had to settle for a bottle of the house red, resisting pressure to buy our wine by the glass instead. On our visit, on a Friday between 6:30 and 8 pm, there were only 2 other tables occupied, yet the service was slow and no one seemed to be keeping an eye on things. The overall impression was of restaurant that is struggling and we would not choose to dine there again despite the food being good. As a footnote, we were staying at the hotel and the breakfast service the next morning was equally poorly run. It was better on our second morning.

   Excellent find. Excellent food. great service. The confit of duck was excellent as was the pear salad & the convenience of a quiet restaurant so close to the main noisy drag of Knightsbridge is a welcome find.

   Had high hopes for the restaurant and did vast research of restaurants in the area. Came from south wales to treat my mum for her birthday. The ambience was very nice. I ordered the croque monsier and my mum the fish and chips. Mine was nice enough but my mums fish was very slimey and a few bits UNCOOKED we complained to the waitress who apologised and asked if she wanted something else, at this point I had finished my meal so she don’t want me to wait for her. There was no offer of taking the meal off the bill or even at a discounted rate. She didn’t eat the fish. And then charged us a service charge on top. Really disappointed and wouldn’t visit again. Such a shame as it was a special occasion.

   Sadly the 3 course special menu was only available Monday-Thursday (my mistake) so ate off a la carte. Not a good start with a very inexperienced waitress pouring a beer by upending it into a tumbler. Upon being served a.replacement we did mention to the other server that we’d expect a 5 star establishment to train their staff on such a basic task! The food was really good and service spot on. Very empty restaurant so rather flat atmosphere/ambience. Such a shame as the standard of the food IS very good.

   A fantastic location just around the corner from Harrods. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, quite spacious and airy. We were attended to so well by many staff and couldn't fault the service. The food was exceptional and wine list extensive. All in all this was a special place to come with my date.

    Nice room Not at all overpriced - which given its proximity to Harrods is surprising.
