Fun, lively place. Entertaining chefs are the highlight. Set menus reasonable as they include soup, salad, and an appetiser. Liked the ginger sauce

Places arranged in groups of 8 in a semicircle with the chef’s hotplate in the middle. Service is friendly and the menu is easy to follow with set choices for those unfamiliar with the dishes. An important part of the evening is the chef cooking your meal in front of you with speed, dexterity and a humorous flourish that includes a little bit of juggling. The food itself is lovely though in common with many London restaurants you should expect a 12.5% service charge. Overall a great experience with wonderful food.

Absolutely outstanding. Attentive and caring service, brilliant chef at our table who played up to the kids and really made them laugh. The food was incredible - the wagu beef in particular on the set menu was an experience we won’t forget. Cocktails and mocktails were all spectacular. We will book every time we come to the city from now on
