Food is extremely good. Classic, well made, well presented. Daily specials are especially good. Service was efficient and friendly. Couple of things: paper napkins seem out of place given the price of the dishes; upholstery on the seats was completely worn out and is in dire need of a refresh; the table top was sticky; the front door would get stuck half open and a cold draft would come in, and my husband had to repeatedly get up and close it; they didn't change cutlery after the appetizers, even if they were completely crusted with melted cheese; Beefeater as a gin is sad given how the multitude of local choices available; soup spoons to eat our dessert was very weird.

Living in a city with so many amazing restaurants, I wouldn’t rush to recommend or return when I know I can have an unparalleled experience with matched service at dozens of competitors.
Compliments to the chef and cooks, however. The food was experiential - I had the cod special with pesto and red...
