Been coming here for over 4 years, and sadly the most recent experience was appalling. Profit has overtaken the priority of exceptional food, service and atmosphere. The food was bland, soggy vegetables, and dry mains, served with a heavy dose of surly service, in addition the place needs a dam good clean, the toilets were a disgrace. Will not be returning any time soon. Far better options in this part of town. Business complacency and arrogance personified.

OK. Here we go......I bit my tongue on this one in the restaurant, as I hate to be the party pooper shaming my friends nearly 300 a head lunch. Food was well prepared, tasty, but was simply not generous enough. It felt like a light lunch despite going for the main event (and being TOLD we were having the wine flight), and although precise cookery, nothing really stood out. Mainly due to the lack of portion generosity (yes yes, I know it's Dim sum). The food came in fits and starts and we were never really party to the dishes' philosophies, inspirations or any technical explanations, other than the basic X with Y and Z and a few buzzy words you'd expect to hear in a high-end Asian eatery in London. Really quite poor service and atmosphere for this level of accolade, even if most of the service team themselves were lovely. Initially enthralling bustle of the many staff and humdrum of the kitchen (adjacent to our table) in reality made it hard to comprehend even the basic spiel of the offerings. I've done a fair few top end restaurants of late and this was scraping 1* in my view. Due mainly to the lack of pomp and ceremony amid the quite frankly average service, poor atmospherics, and lack of context (I appreciate these aren't the strict criteria). My main issues were the lack of transparency in pricing and the uninspiring wine program. Yes, we were given Dom Perignon 2013, as well as the more budget end of Schloss Johannisberg's riesling spectrum, but the wines to follow were easy to source from UK retailers, and simply mid-range gumph. We were not once offered any insight into their origins, and the rationale for how they were paired (with, admittedly, some complex less wine-friendly flavours). I'd have expected some more umami focused wines, and why feel the need to serve a red at all? The Sauternes with dessert was pleasant but it was young and easily sourced (from Majestic) for 15 a half bottle. Not exactly special or interesting. I'd have expected them to be serving something with some age, oxidation or distinct character if I'm honest, rather than the namesake 'badge of honour'. A couple of major hiccups that left us sour, a bit salty, and certainly not sweet.... 1) Asked if we fancied some Champagne before we kicked off....... it was tempting by the range on show, but luckily my friend queried the prices up front and we were simply told it's 37 per glass (I believe in reference to the Ruinart Rose. Woof). We quickly asked for alternative aperitifs and were presented with a cocktail menu at a shade less ridiculous prices. Of course, monsieur sommelier was not forthcoming with this and wanted to flog the pricey stuff. What a terrible way to build rapport with your customers at the outset. 2) The lack of pricing transparency continued to the conclusion, where we were offered a choice of 2 coffees. Little to our knowledge they were not included, and were priced eyewateringly at a respective 9.5 and 15 pound. Shameless. To boot, there was zero effort from anyone in the kitchen, or the latterly present main man, to greet or acknowledge us, and we never received the promised menus. I've corroborated my views with others' who have visited on recent occasions. The petit fours were delicious, but the plum shot will unfortunately last as a sour taint for much much longer than intended. No doubt chef and team have worked their woks off to get where they are, but I personally wouldn't venture back or recommend - maybe the 2* is a great ticket to 'single visit/ international churn', but in terms of sustaining a business and maintaining an enduring reputation, I doubt it's a very good strategy. Apologies if you're reading this and are past the pay wall of no return on your booking. My advice would be.....if you care about value for money or your wallet's contents, keep a keen eye on that pesky cheque, and certainly get your coffee round the corner.

Absolutely lovely restaurant, we had veal schnitzel, salad and amazing pizzas. All perfectly cooked, fresh and tasty. The restaurant is very clean, staff attentive and friendly. Perfect location opposite Apollo theatre and great value for money. We would highly recommend this independent restaurant. 5*

Delicious food and excellent service. To start a bread with a delicious complimentary sauce. We ordered the nachos with different sauces as a starter, it was also very delicious. It had 6 vegetarian options, unfortunately 2 were not available and they were what caught my attention the most, the dish I ordered was also delicious. To finish we ordered the sultan dessert and baklava with ice cream, which were delicious, we shared it between 3, very sweet. To drink I ordered a Turkish lemonade, but it had more ice than drinkability. The service was very good, there were many people worried about serving the table, everything looked very organized, the barwoman, the waiters and even the receptionist, very concerned and friendly. The place is very well decorated and has a good atmosphere. I recommend it!

Quite a cool spot in Victoria, right outside the station. Atmosphere was buzzing on Friday night. Needs a bit of a refurb, looks a bit grubby and worn. We were convinced it was a spoons until we saw the prices!! Staff were great and cocktails were very good. Perfect spot to grab a quick drink as you land in Victoria, before heading on. Looking up at it from the street looks cool, the reality of the view looking back down is less than desirable!

Esta fue una entrega imprevista - en el almuerzo con un amigo antes de una matinal de teatro. Nos recibieron cálidamente y nos sirvieron con prontitud y atención. Creo que llegamos justo antes de la "prisa del almuerzo", ya que las mesas se llenaron muy rápidamente poco después. El ambiente es muy relajado, con fórmica - mesas superiores (este no es el lugar para venir si usted está buscando manteles de lino y servilletas) - todo impecablemente limpio. La gama de platos que se ofrecen era buena, con carne, pescado y opciones vegetarianas, y una gama de especias para satisfacer la mayoría de los gustos. Tienen un menú especial de almuerzo, pero comimos del menú normal. La comida llegó rápidamente, pero no nos sentimos apurados. Excelente relación calidad-precio y sin duda volveré cuando en la zona.

It's a relatively small Nando's but they were very accommodating when we visited before a theatre show. It was busy but they found us a table and even moved us (before ordering) to a better table when it came free. Pretty quick food service too. No fuss, just what you want sometimes.
