Asquiths is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants for fine dining I have experienced. The menu is interesting, appetising and giving enough of a varied choice without being too brief nor too complicated. Every course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The portion size was perfect, I feel, with the protein taking pole position...nice.

After being shown their reservation app TheFork, they still deny it was theirs and gave a snotty attitude that we are still making it up. Then I found the email showing them the reservation confirmation, they didn't apologise for their previously mistakes but simply wants us to leave immediately.
