Overall - 4.5* Food - 5* Service - 4* Venue/ambience - 4* Value - 5* We finally booked this restaurant after glowing reviews from friends. This is one of only a handful of restaurants South of the river that has a Michelin star but don't let that dissuade you. The front of house wasn't the friendliest and the ambience/venue was understated, but the food more than made up for it. The Parmesan biscuits and bread, especially the focaccia, were excellent. For starters, we had the crispy trotter sausage served with leek and bacon fondue, quail's egg and apple sauce, which was very tasty. But the highlight has to be the foie gras and chicken liver parfait, which was rich and light at the same time. It was served with the softest, freshly toasted brioche and it was a match made in heaven! We ordered the fillet of beef and venison for mains and both were perfectly done (medium), pink and melt in the mouth. The dessert impressed as well. The pecan ice cream was just the right sweetness with crunchy pecan, balanced with the sweet Florentines. The hot chocolate pudding with praline parfait was very rich but the parfait had melted slightly when served. The staff even made a little birthday brownie with a lit candle for a birthday celebration which was a nice touch. Overall, it was one of the best meals I've had in London and will most certainly be back. read more
