What the Critics Said About London Restaurants Last Week | Eater London
"A compact, timeless-feeling room with charming details (notably a suspended coatrack) that evokes the sense of a place that ‘has been there for 100 years’. The cooking is celebrated for its clarity and restraint: beautifully cut sea trout, a brilliant vichyssoise with crab, prawns served on gem lettuce, and a salad of haricot and green beans with anchovy are all singled out for excellence. Service is relaxed and helpful and presentation is seductive without fuss, resulting in a quietly wonderful, old‑school dining experience that delights critics who favour classic technique and charm." - George Reynolds
London’s Festive Season Restaurant Reviews — Reviewed | Eater London
"A small Covent Garden spot with a deceptively simple menu and a bright, creative kitchen: croquettes described as tanned, fat and rubble-rough with panko crumbs are unmissable, indulgent plates like lobster mash and an over-the-top fish pie drive bills up, and while some items (pork and seaweed chipolatas, a crab pissaladière hampered by the wrong pastry) disappoint, the overall attention to detail and flashes of inspiration make it an appealing, blessed addition to the local dining scene." - George Reynolds
