Excellent; pre theatre menu was perfect; food was beautiful, although starter (gosts cheese) was large we thought. Hake main was really well done. Good atmosphere and attentive service. Will be back!

Welcoming, friendly, and professional service throughout. The pre-show menu is very good, with beautifully presented dishes and an interesting, well-curated wine list. The open space, with a view into the kitchen, adds to the overall experience and creates a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The steak, however, was slightly overcooked and not as tender as expected. A more precise cooking would have elevated the dish and brought it fully in line with the otherwise high standard of the meal. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, with just a small adjustment needed to reach its full potential.

Grilled mediterranean vegetables a delight, grilled tuna, grilled large prawns and crab arancini delicious as well as the desserts baked alaska and mixed berries on a thin meringue. All perfectly accompanied by carefully chosen wines by the wonderful sommelier Maxim. Service as always gracious and attentive.
