    Food was really good, especially the pasta spaghetti special! Love the Aperol spritz and starters too. They sang happy birthday and brought a delicious tiramisu out. Good vibe and staff and pretty setting

    This was our 5th visit and on arrival we were seated next to table where Gino and Fred Sirieix were seated. So as you can imagine the restaurant was busy as people wanted a photo/chat etc. We waited 10/15 minutes before ordering water and wine and waited a further 5 minutes for the wine to arrive. When the food arrived it was lovely. The starters of Ribs and Prawn cocktail were great. The meat just fell off the ribs. Mains followed and again no complaints. Food was great but due to the restaurant being busy ( which is great ) the service was not as efficient as on previous visits, saying that the servers were all nice. We had to keep asking for our wine to topped up and due to time constraints we were unable to order and enjoy the lovely cocktails at the end of the meal. Next time....Thank you

    A fabulous dining experience in the heart of Aldwych—conveniently located in front of the Waldorf! It's surprisingly good value for a celebrity restaurant. We will definitely return the next time we pass through London.
