Clarke's in Kensington and Chelsea

Super nice and charming place. Food is on good quality, Service is at the spot and knows their business, while being discrete. Atmosphere is very nice, as you can feel and see that visitors are coming regularly. A bit too pricy for a resto w/o a star. But definitely a recommendation.

Beautiful food, amazing service, was a real lovely treat

I hadn’t been to this wonderful restaurant in over 20 years. As a Californian, with a high respect for Alice Waters, a mentor to Sally Clarke, I wanted to revisit with my London-resident children for a celebratory dinner. We were all thrilled with our experience. The waiters were such professionals, friendly and helpful, but discreet. The seasonal menu and daily suggestions made it very hard to choose our courses. I think each of us had menu envy for the others’ choices. We wanted it all! I hope Clarke’s truly enjoys their upcoming 40 year anniversary dinner. The team deserves it. Thank you for creating such a warm environment, allowing me to host my children, and treat them to a really delicious meal, original cocktails and a perfect bottle of Duoro Valley red. Well done!

Food was amazing and the service was amazing definitely recommend

I recently dined at a fantastic restaurant that truly impressed me! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that set the perfect mood. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our meal. We started with a few appetizers, and each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I ordered the grilled salmon, which was cooked to perfection—flaky and seasoned just right. The sides complemented the dish beautifully. To top it off, we indulged in dessert, and the chocolate lava cake was a standout. Rich and decadent, it was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, this restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience, and I can’t wait to return for more! Highly recommended!

What a wonderful lunch! We felt in automn Provence but in London. If you want to feel at home and enjoy real good french inspired food you are right here. My favourite restaurant in London.

One of my favorites in London ...,it's perfection!

Here for lunch with some American friends . Stunning set lunch , best roast chicken I have ever had , lovely home made ice cream . GO for a great experience, outstanding food , outstanding service , lovely setting , good wine , reasonable prices . Just great .

I’ve fallen a bit out of love with restaurants. Service glitches like food arriving before the wine in places where you are made to feel they are doing you a favour for taking your money have taken the magic away a bit. So it was an absolute joy to rediscover Clarke’s after being away for a decade or so. Quite simply everything hits the spot. Great, unrushed service and a warm welcome. Food delicious. Wine equally so (and served before dishes arrive). Nice to see owner Saliy Clarke hands on. Not cheap but worth every penny.

A smallish restaurant that is not loud and noisy. Food is English with good size portions cooked very well. Price isn’t cheap, of course, but not over the top. A rather nice place to eat.

Always an excellent evening , from the warmth of the welcome to the quality of the food .

Classy traditional restaurant. White tablecloth, beautiful paintings, unobtrusive and attentive service, excellent wine selection. The food is of very good quality, but lacks ultimate refinement.expensive, maybe normal for Kensington. Would return for the atmosphere and experience

We've had lunch here a few times it's superb. A real treat, great attentive service, a beautiful dining room and excellent seasonal food. Go now :)

A very classy restaurant. Good welcome and attentive service. Wide choice on the menu and the wine list. It has become quite expensive so moves into category of “for special occasions”

From start to finish, exceptional. Warm and welcome greeting, comfortable dinning room with great ambiance. We enjoyed every single course and at the end felt comfortable and well dined. Above exceptional was the bread and butter, yes truly, the wine, monk fish main, cheese and biscuits were best ever, and final deserts terrific. Will be back as soon as we win the premium bonds again 🤣

After a year away Paul stull showed me to my favoueir table. Sally Clarke was still there smil8ng and in charge. Great food and ambience at reasonable prices. Try Sally's champagne and wine Very special cooking and presentation Go!

Very classic, nice atmosphere, perfect service, highly recommended

Another memorable dinner at Clark’s! This time we chose Clark’s to celebrate a very special occasion as we send our youngest child off to University. As you can imagine we wanted a perfect low stress evening and chose Clark’s because of its welcoming, charming atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful food. The corn soup, veal, scallops and chicken were cooked beautifully. We all enjoyed our evening immensely! Thank you to everyone at Clark’s for your kind, attentive service and delicious menu. We will be back ! :)

Absolutely our best farm to table meal in London. Sally Clarke runs an understated but glorious restaurant that pays homage to Alice Water’s Chez PanIsse. Every element of your meal is organic,, fresh and perfectly cooked. We loved the impeccable scallops with roe, the venison and grouse. The service is outstanding and Sally herself enjoys roaming the restaurant to ensure all is perfect. Kudos

I enjoy everything about this place. Always a good experience. Food is simple and seasonal. I wish it was more “spot on” in terms of execution. As someone who enjoys cooking I got rather precise expectations when I go out and spend quite a bit for the food. I really do like the atmosphere. It feels like being in one’s dining room without having to cook and serve the food yourself!

The food, as ever, was delicious, fresh ingredients beautifully cooked. The service was impeccable, the staff friendly and efficient. The restaurant is perfectly laid out to give diners plenty of room. And none of the canned music that blights so many dining experiences! A splendid experience which we look forward to repeating!

I booked Clarke’s for my mums 70th birthday family dinner. I was honestly blown away by the service we received. We had pre organised champagne on arrival and a personalised birthday cake for dessert. We absolutely loved our dining experience, the food was delicious, the service was fantastic. Sally came over to chat to us and wish my mum a happy birthday. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better restaurant to celebrate such a special occasion! Thank you so much!

We knew the owner Sally Clarke when she was still in California, before opening this spot in London. We have visited her at least once on every trip we've made to London. In the late 1990's by coincidence my parents were in London on their only foray overseas. I took them to Clarke's. My mother asked "where's the rest of the menu", having never been to such a place. This is epitome of fine dining, without the pretentiousness. I won't bore you with the luncheon menu details as it changes daily. But it was quite the treat on our five days at the BBC Proms this year.

If ever you are in London and want to eat a fine meal - this your place . This fine dining experience here for us was unforgettable . The most charming place to eat a satisfying meal classy to the core . The excellence in service , the quality of food and the decor outdo each - perfect . I came here with my family of six and had reservations ahead of our visit . The food menu has options for vegetarians ( limited ) and non veg ( more). The leg of duck and the fish was supreme as I could see the family members enjoyed it . My pasta dish was creamy and tasty . The choice of wines are good . This fine dining comes with high prices but worth it. The icing on the cake was I got to meet the legend Ms Sally herself with words of appreciations for coming here . The perfect star and her star eatery . Highly recommended .

Clarke's Nottinghill Review Clarke's Nottinghill, established by Sally Clarke in December 1984, is a London restaurant with a rich history and a loyal clientele. Known for its simple, seasonal cuisine and welcoming ambiance, Clarke's has long been a staple for artists, writers, and local residents. However, my recent visit to Clarke's for a birthday meal presented a mixed experience that left me questioning the value and service quality. Atmosphere and Setting The dining room at Clarke's is elegantly decorated, with light sage-colored walls, woven bistro chairs, and pristine white tablecloths, creating a comfortable and inviting ambiance. Paintings by renowned artists like Hockney and Freud adorn the walls, adding to the sophisticated yet homey feel. The table spacing was just right, ensuring a cozy but not cramped dining experience. However, the fair ambiance was overshadowed by a disappointing service encounter that set an unfortunate tone for the evening. Food and Presentation The menu at Clarke's features a blend of British and Mediterranean influences, celebrating seasonal ingredients with a simple, no-nonsense presentation. We started with Scottish smoked salmon with crème fraiche and rye toasts, and burrata with flat peach, pistachio nuts, and garden rocket. Both starters were fresh and flavorful, though unremarkable in presentation. For the main course, we had the roasted Scottish halibut fillet with datterini and red peppers, and the grilled Correze veal fillet with sage and broad beans. The halibut was well-cooked and complemented nicely by the wine we chose, a Sally Clarke Touraine Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc. The veal fillet was tender and accompanied by perfectly steamed spinach and potato mash. We concluded our meal with a selection of British and Irish cheeses, affogato, Peche Melba, and Eton Mess. The desserts were enjoyable, particularly the Eton Mess, which offered a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Service Despite the pleasant setting and decent food, the service was a major letdown. The manager on duty rudely moved our plates to another table after they had been sitting on ours for just four minutes, without offering any apologies. This experience marred the evening and made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Value for Money Considering the high price point, the overall value for money at Clarke's was disappointing. The food quality and taste did not justify the cost, especially when coupled with the subpar service. While the restaurant has a storied history and many glowing reviews, my experience suggests that there are better dining options in London for the same price range. Conclusion Clarke's Nottinghill may have a long-standing reputation and a loyal customer base, but my recent visit did not live up to the expectations set by its history. The ambiance and food were satisfactory, but the poor service significantly detracted from the experience. Given the high prices, I find it unlikely that I will return to Clarke's, especially considering it was meant to be a special birthday meal.

Always a very civilised lunch with delicious food 😋 and faultless service.

We arrived spontaneously for lunch and enjoyed sitting outside so much we ate lunch and then had something sweet with a coffee and then bought some premade food to take home for our dinner. The mushroom pizza was amazing! Thank you 😊

wonderful spot for an elegant lunch Sally comes around and checks on her patrons

We were filming last Sunday and a completely incandescent ex husband to poor Sally Clarke turned up, shouting, threatening, cut to chase. Police arrived ,Film crew left. Just hope the poor man can recieve some therapy and anger management. Utterly stressful. Apart from that. I've always loved the place. The shop people opposite were divine as was the superb manager of the restaurant. Just sorry about, Mr Shouty. He does need to stop bullying women!

Absolutely vile place … the owner has been throwing tantrums and abusing people verbally

An exceptional meal in a friendly and convivial setting. Really quite wonderful

As always, Clarke's offers a brilliant balance of friendly attentive service, warm relaxed ambiance and above all delicious fresh beautifully cooked and presented food.

A great welcome from all the front of house staff greeted us on our arrival for a birthday celebration. We enjoyed delicious food, beautifully served and, quite un-asked, a birthday cake appeared at the end of our meal - for which we were able to sing a suitable chorus! A wrap-around relaxed atmosphere prevailed in the restaurant whether you were enjoying a quiet meal or, like us, having a birthday get -together. An evening to remember.

Still my favourite restaurant! but now I miss the 'Sally's Menu selection' at dinner. This was a set price menu for dinner, selected by the chef who knows best. It NEVER failed to impress, you just ordered "two set menu" without looking, knowing it would be please. Sally.."Please, bring it back!" so I can come for dinner instead of lunch.

A beautiful dinner in a very nice restaurant

Lovely Restaurant, all courses were fantastic, as was the service . One of the best dining experiences I have had in West London.

Everything and everyone- fantastic!

With so many 5 star ratings and a price over £250 for 2, I had high expectations. Chosen with care I expected to go WOW sadly I didn't. The service was super efficient but they clucked over the regulars like a mother hen while not once where we even ask how was our day or why we were in London. Dining out is an experience sadly this aspect just came across as pretentious. My wife's starter of asparagus has a beautiful hollandaise sauce and my lobster was fine but a bit chewy. Both our mains of Chicken and Dover Sole were uninspiring with the blandest carrots we have tasted in a while. My cheese board had nice cheeses. The strawberries tasted beautiful but seriously a bowl of brown sugar and cream for £16 even in London. To be clear each course was fine but not once did I go that was amazing which is what I hoped for with so many 5 stars for me it was 3.5.

Delightful and perfect from start to finish. Thank you

absolutely fabulous restaurant, outstanding dishes of real food tastefully made in a very pleasant environment

A delightfully warm welcome was followed by a delicious meal, served by discretely attentive and knowledgeable staff. A lovely relaxed occasion made very special through the service and attention to detail which prevails. A evening to be remembered with great pleasure.

My London favorite for 18 years! Sally Clarke is a culinary hero. One feels immediately welcome in the gracious, intimate and understated elegance of her restaurant home. The menu never misses. Nobody does better with fish, potatoes and delectable sauces. The vegetables are sexy! I would eat anything she sources and prepares. Thank you Sally and your lovely staff. PS the new GF bread is extraordinary.

.....you have one of man’s most precious gifts – a selective memory. At Clarke's your memories will only be of contentment. The ambience, from the moment you set foot through the door, to sitting down at a pristine white table-cloth, that first sip of a drink and the delicious dinner served by charming, discreet yet attentive staff, all combine to make contented memories. Seasonal ingredients - Jerusalem artichokes, venison - are offered with old favourites - halibut, souffle Suisse - and a well disposed wine list with expert advice at hand. The several rooms, with amazing works-of-art, were full and quietly buzzing with a variety of age groups on my week-day evening visit, which is so encouraging these days. My memories are now selected and will be maintained by Clarke's high standards and consistency.

The food here is sublime. Service professional but not stuffy & the atmosphere warm & welcoming. Well worth a visit.

After my first visit in late summer (meeting a NZ friend I had not seen for 7 years because of covid) which made the meal even more memorable. I booked for my wedding anniversary and we had such delicious food - the kind of food that makes you smile - in fact the best food we’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. Delicious, fresh… the kind of food that is enjoyable to eat. And friendly attentive staff - we loved our wine, champagne and coffee so much that we went over the road and bought it (along with mince pies, chocolate etc etc ) in the shop. A special place for special occasions

Perfect food, service and atmosphere. Want to come back again.

Sally Clarke’s is everything you could hope for in a fantastic meal. The cuisine is intelligently sourced, carefully prepared, and gracefully served. I have often dined here and always wonder why I would dine anywhere else with equivalent flavours and cuisine. To dine here is to experience Art, in all the senses. After years of visiting this establishment in Kensington when in London on trips from the U.S., I specifically chose this neighbourhood when we relocated to London to be within walking distance from Sally’s restaurant. Sally’s has never failed to provide a top-notch dining experience for me and my family and our closest friends.

Clarke's restaurant is one of those few restaurants that you will never forget. I travel a lot, have an awful lot of dinners with clients and can now compare with several of the greatest restaurants in the world. The ever changing, surprising, menu, the extremely fresh products (farm to table, carefully chosen), the splendid manners of the staff and calm delightful atmosphere of the restaurant itself, made it a night to remember. Actually, it was so good that I was lucky enough to dine there twice in one week, and both occasions were equally memorable. A definite must go, if you can get a table..

Simply put, I think this is the best restaurant in London!! We had a truly wonderful dinner here. The atmosphere was just perfect, and beaten only by the delicious food! Which I will be dreaming about for months! The staff led by Sally Clarke are so welcoming, and are attentive and at the same time discreet. Thank you for the most exquisite evening!!!

Exceptionally professional, polite and well-dressed service. Excellent food. Not noisy so one can easily have business or social conversation. I put it on my list of go-to restaurants.

Fabulous food fabulous service. We live in the North and therefore don’t get down to London that often. Hadn’t been to Clarke’s in a while but it was as good as ever. Well he back!

We had a lovely time at Clarke's last Saturday, we were 4 of us, from the moment we sat down, we were offered still/sparkling water, delicious bread selection, followed by Clementine bellini. All the staff were very friendly, attentive as they provided impeccable service. Food was flavoursome and succulent. I had Veal chop which was amazing. Definately recommend this beautiful restaurant for special occasions and can't wait to come back soon.

As always and so consistently, Clarke's is a haven away from the bustling world, a calm, beautiful space where one always feels welcome, relaxed and treated with great care and unstuffy elegance. The food is delicious and showcases the flavours of each dish to perfection. I have been a loyal customer for years, and still always very much look forward to each visit with enthusiasm. Bravo Sally, you are running a great show and making many people very happy!

Another wonderful meal at Clarke's. Very nice service.

Overrated! Big disappointment. The food is average quality, nothing exceptional. The menu is difficult to understand, we have been told that "first courses" were appetisers, but there was 65£ truffle tagliolini in the list. Nowhere in Italy you can find "pasta" as starter. The menu has no identity, a mixture of Italian and French tradition badly combined. Anyway, the service was the worst part of the visit. We could not held a conversation, because we were constantly interrupted by the waitress. We didn't even finish to eat and she was already taking plates away. It was Saturday night but the restaurant was half empty, so no rush to have the table back. We ordered 2 glasses of wine and they arrived directly in the glass from the kitchen, we didn't get chance to taste it and the wine was watered. No one came to the table to advise on wine either. For a restaurant that has Michelin starred prices, the service is nowhere close to be acceptable. I would not come back or suggest to visit this place.

After a recommendation from my hairdresser to visit Clarkes restaurant in Kensington church st, I decided to make a reservation for the evening, the interior is very clean and fresh and the food was absolutely superb, Our waiter was wonderful and up on his knowledge of the menu when I asked questions. This place is an easy recommendation and I will definitely be booking again.

We attended a fundraising event at Clarke’s that they supported to raise money et for disabled individuals to ski in Austria. The food was Austrian themed for the evening and it was fantastic. The welcome, service, food and wine were top class. The support the restaurant gave to the Charity helped to raise significant funds for the charity. A great evening and it seemed to be appreciated by all.

A really lovely and memorable evening at Clarkes. A wonderful atmosphere with excellent service - attentive but not overly so, and delicious food. Located in a great area that feels like traditional London! Will definitely be going again.

We've had an excellent lunch at Clarke's last week. Delicious food with their daily-changing menu, friendly and welcoming service by Paul and his team and a great wine list to choose from. We will be coming back!

Il ristorante Sally Clarke e' situato nella zona magica di NOTTINGHHIILL la cucina è molto curata con ingredienti freschi e genuini. Il personale di sala è molto preparato, abbiamo anche conosciuto lo chef e il suo staff, ragazzi ingamba.. Che dire ottimo connubio cibo e vino.... Ottima esperienza sensoriale.... Consigliatissimo....

We went for a family dinner. Paul and his staff were attentive and welcoming. Great atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing. Wonderful evening. Highly recommend.

Not a hotel but the restaurant was amazing but comes at a cost £££

Absolutely phenomenal. All the way around (Best espresso I’ve ever had!)

It has been a few years, but I fondly think back to when my husband and I ate here. We received a warm welcome as soon as we walked in and the food was absolutely delicious. We would both gladly come back when we find ourselves in London again.

My wife always wanted to try Sally Clarke's and we were not disappointed. Very nice atmosphere, no background music for a change, excellent or top service and nice food. Excellent combo for one very nice evening.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food and wonderful staff. We were very late, but never rushed once. Highly recommend!

Wonderful dining experience. We were referred to your restaurant by friends from Texas. Will return when back in London.

Great evening with friends. Lovely food, seamless service.

Busy restaurant working as dinning for the wealthy and rich in London, the service was slow but good on the end. Dinner well above £100 per person so considering the plates is not great value however the quality of food was not bad, cheese selection bit disappointing for the postcode also have better coffee as luck of crema and lukewarm once on table.

Fantastic duck leg, so crispy and juicy Take the Lemon tart, so tasty Sally's kindness makes you feel at home

Fantastic spot near Kensington Palace. A British friend took us and the food was spectacular as was the service. Also loved the fact that there were only a few tables in the room where we dined which made it easy to hear each other. And because we were the only Americans there, we were probably the loudest table. Anyway, loved it!

A favourite for over 30 years Clarkes never disappoints. A class act.

Fantastic! Amazing ingredients, lively atmosphere, great wines, staff totally professional, it's everything dining out should be.

Outstanding restaurant, food is delicious , pure and of amazing quality. Service outstanding and the atmosphere is calm, sophisticated and pleasant throughout

I organised a dinner in their private room for 21 people. The whole experience was first rate. Planning straightforward, food was exceptional, service immaculate and friendly. The whole team made it a memorable occasion and whilst not cheap very good value all around. Totally recommend

My wife’s favourite restaurant and I loved it too Fabulous team, wonderful food and the perfect place for a long lunch!

Now it’s my one of the favourite restaurants. Always welcoming, fantastic food, ambiance. And literally 5 minutes from our office. Just PERFECT!

What to say about my favourite restaurant in the whole of West London? It is perfection on a plate, served with charm and aplomb!

We had the most wonderful evening here last night in the private dining room. Faultless service (a huge thank you to the amazing Suleyman and to Alexander also). Fabulous food - so delicious. Portion sizes spot on. The whole evening was PERFECT and there was nothing I would’ve changed. A huge thank you to the whole team.

Wonderful meal, excellent cooking, great wine and personal service.

At long last we've returned to one of our favourite London spots. Although Sally is no longer in the kitchen, the standard of cooking remains at the highest level. We were greeted warmly by her and had a chuckle about Lago Blue. There was something on the menu for everyone. Freshest ingredients available. Sally's lunch menu was a super bargain (but one we resisted in favour of an a la carte selection). Impeccable service.

What a wonderful experience I had at Clarke’s. Will be back for more.

Wonderfully seasonal & fresh vegetables, food to perfection, attentive staff. Top end prices, but came away feeling well worth it.

Heel leuke sfeer , buiten de drukte van London Een 30 m met de taxi van uit het centrum London maar een leuke trip naar Kensington! Eten was fantastisch, bediening zeer vriendelijk en kader heel leuk !!!

Outstanding food - fresh, seasonal, lovingly prepared - and attentive service. Always a pleasure to get back!

Always fantastic food and service. I tend to have small business lunches here where I know I can guarantee quality, discretion and frankly a calm and unhurried meal.

Our first visit in decades! Why? From superb reception to superb food and service. Enchanting atmosphere. Amazing interesting duck. Not silly prices. Good value for money. Truly a happy gastronomic experience.

I recently dined at Clarke's and it was quite the treat! The food was excellent, well portioned, and bursting with flavour. They have a daily changing menu which adds a touch of excitement to each visit. The service was impeccable and the staff were a real highlight - warm, welcoming, and with a good sense of humour. You'd expect a 'white-tablecloth' restaurant to be stiff, outdated, and dull, but Clarke's is quite the opposite. It has a lively atmosphere and I left feeling satisfied in every sense. This restaurant is definitely one of my new favourites.

Fantastic, one of the best restaurants in the world

Clark’s is one of our eternal favourites and never disappoints. Three of us with quite different tastes, all found something to love for every course!

An elegant restaurant with conservative atmosphere. The main disappointment was the lemon sole main meal. Only half of a sole was served which I doubt met standards on weight portion. The vegetables were limited and the carrots were undercooked. Even though I had a starter and a dessert, I was left feeling somewhat hungry. All enjoyable but did not measure up to Clarke's costing of a 3 course meal.

I had dinner here a few months ago with some family and friends. The food is not cheap, so one would expect a certain level. Sadly many of us had steaks, and most had the same issue, the meat was so tough. Nobody complained at the time, as the meal was paid for by a kind family member, and the occasion meant it was not appropriate to mention to the person. However the issue was mentioned a day or two later to the venue, and they did not seem to believe our words. The service charge was refunded in the end, but the whole occasion was spoiled...and we still paid full price on the meals. No real apology was ever made. I would strongly advise against eating here.

Beautiful place ! Food was so delicious and the service amazing !!! I recommend it ♥️♥️♥️

We were put by the doir and were very cold. The first course was excelkent, but veal chop thick and tasteless, we took half hone forr the dog. My turkey was large slabs, no potato, just carrot puree and some green cegetable underneath and wasnot nice.zabaglione cake was a victoria soonge a d quite nice. Not what one would hope fir for 100 pounds a head

My partner and I left London in 2006. We were used to going to dinner at Clark's very often. So after more than 15 years we went back, and what a pleasure to see that everything was perfect as before, the cuisine, the decoration and the staff. And cherry on the cake, one of the managers was still there, i was so happy to see him again. I really recommend !

Wonderful meal. Service and experience.

Our booking was for 6.15pm and we arrived a few minutes early. The restaurant comprises an ante room just inside the entrance where there are a few tables and the main room to the left of this. When we arrived there was only one other table occupied and that was in the main room. We were shown to a table in the ante room initially and because the main room looked more inviting we asked to be seated there. This request was just about tolerated and we were shown to a table just beside where the serving staff enter the dining room from the kitchen - so a heavily trafficked location. Given that all other tables except one were free we asked for one of the other available tables. This request was acceded to with poor grace. So before the meal commenced we felt unwanted and uncomfortable. We've had the good fortune to have had a few meals in The Ledbury pre-Covid and level of hospitality we experienced there was exceptional. The contrast in the level of hospitality we experienced in Clarke's, even before we had a look at the menu, could not have been greater. Unfortunately matters did not improve with the food. My main course of halibut lacked flavour while my partner's chicken dish was reasonable. I had blackberries, rasberries and figs for dessert and that was exactly what I received - just the fruit on a plate, nothing else. The meal in general was extremely poor value for the prices charged. The quality of service, while attentive, can only be described as poor - dishes were served and plates removed in silence, no interaction to speak of. The only staff member who displayed any warmth was the most senior waiter who, when we mentioned our disappointment with our experience, did express regret. We did notice during the meal when the restaurant began to fill up that a lot of the guests seemed to be regulars and they were warmly received. It would seem that if you are not a regular here you do not merit

Sublime! A wonderful atmosphere . Exactly how a restaurant should be but rarely is. Intelligent wine list and the proprietor herself was running the show!

A warm welcome from the eponymous owner set the tone for such a happy dinner. Tables are not shoved together.The staff are thoughtful and gentle. The menu was not lengthy but offered an intriguing array of seasonal dishes. The wine list is intelligent and fairly priced with modest bottles as well as Mouton 2006 at £1,500. I yearn for Le Caprice and Bibendum before it was ‘ transformed’ ( sic). This was as good as it gets and I immediately booked a table for December when i got home. So professional but charming not clinical.

Maybe a bit pretencious nice decor food quality not up to the prices pass
