Beautiful presentation, excellent service but complete rip-off! For the first time I and my friends walked out of a Michelin star restaurant hungry. The portions while beautiful were child size . Like the smallest bowls .. smallest everything . Not one portion we felt filled us up, was hot enough . Visually just pretty .. taste was strictly average . Lot of pretentious stuff . We actually walked out and had a proper meal elsewhere . Would I recommend it and come back again ? Never

One of my favourite restaurants. It was our second time here and tasting menu was perfect this time! We had 8 courses tasting menu. I had regular and my partner had vegan one. Both were great and my favourite was panna cotta with pears in wine!! I could just visit for this dessert. Every dish is described and people working at this place creating magical atmosphere. Really good restaurant for romantic lunch or dinner.

We had the 8 course taster menu and were looking forward to it very much ... well I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint. All of the courses were fantastic - brilliant tasty food, superbly presented and described by the excellent staff. A superb experience, topped off nicely with the expertly chosen pairing wines. A night to remember!!

Lots of the dishes are kind of remake/reinvent from Noma and other places, good foods overall but not good value for money. Far too expensive for what you get compared to others, that's why I only gave 3 stars.

Lovely 8 course vegetarian tasting menu dinner at this conveniently located restaurant. I had allergies and we are both vegetarian. They catered for us well as I had given my restrictions in advance. Some of the meals were tastier than others but each course had something unique to offer. They have a great selection for vegetarians and vegans.
