"The revamped Notting Hill institution has traded its formerly saucy basement alcoves for a light, airy dining room that feels more special-occasion than neighbourhood haunt; securing a preferred table can involve some faff and mains are pricer than in the past. Nevertheless the cooking displays considerable finesse: a beautifully executed risotto topped with crispy kale and crab is faultless, a piece of salt marsh lamb is extraordinarily good, and the wine pairings are praised — making this a confidently recommended choice for diners seeking a rare treat." - George Reynolds
