Update (2025): Not worth the price. Beautiful environment, lovely service, and the menu looks gorgeous - but the food itself isn’t refined enough.
The foie gras and venison were very conventional and on the small side, though cooked perfectly. The accompaniments were disappointing: nothing magical about the quince and brioche (soulless slices of cooked fruit and a dry brioche “crouton”), the crumble was missing, and the cavolo nero was overly salty. The celeriac dauphinoise was bland and, to my taste, undercooked - I didn’t eat it.
I wasn’t satiated and really wanted to like the place, so I ordered the chargrilled chicken dish. Again, perfectly cooked meat, but hardly chargrilled and rather bland. The baby parsnips were undercooked; the sausages were basic and definitely not homemade; the cabbage was forgettable; and the redcurrant jam arrived cold.
A couple of service hiccups too: the waiter didn’t know what a natural or biodynamic wine is and, after consulting the sommelier, pointed out two wines that, on closer inspection, were only organic. Finally, despite flagging a soya allergy, I was served bread containing soya. This was quickly rectified - but if they used good-quality bread, it wouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.
At 5:45pm I appreciated the quiet dinner and quick service, but if I’m paying £100 for a meal and a tea, it really should be much better than this.
Old review (2023): After wonderful starters, we were very disappointed by the mains. Both our veal and lamb were tough, not enjoyable to eat. Lovely atmosphere although quite cold in the evening, with a draft. Check out their lunch deals!

Nestled just off the high street just up for Angel tube, this is a bright and well appointed restaurant. The private dining room is perfect for large groups and there is a wide selection of wine and drinks to choose from. Be lovely to come back here in the summer but still very cozy for a cold winters day. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Received a £100 voucher with our new home in the area..what a fantastic surprise we had for lunch!
What a nice place, big open and airy dining room. A good breadth of different cuisines and options from wine and starters all the way through to deserts. It’s not the most creative or daring menu but it’s an excellent option where anyone would be able to find something they like on the menu.
We had:
Courgette flower - 7/10 (salad need more texture/dressing)
Scallops - 7/10 (cauliflower rice is not a good pairing, makes the whole thing a little cold and watery but other accompaniments were tasty)
Monkfish - 7/10 (needs some kind of butter sauce/hollandaise-type thing. Was a little lacking in warmth and fattiness for a rounded dish)
Duck - 8/10(our favourite savoury dish, good variation of textures. Just could do with a little more of the jus and could have been a little warmer)
Tiramisu - 9/10
Banana cheesecake - 10/10 (favourite overall dish, texture, flavour..all spot on !!)
As you can see most dishes were well above average but this place for me wasn’t one of those restaurants that’s all about the food. As an experience it was lovely. Hacin and Jason served us and had absolutely impeccable timing and manor about them. Smiled, poured drinks at the right time, took plates at the right time and gave great recommendations. I hope the management here are proud and look after their staff as they were all lovely, warm and welcoming. A professional, warm and relaxed feeling vibe to this one I will hopefully revisit.
