I was surprised to find The Franklin Room was downstairs, but it really added a cosy and hip vibe to the place. We arrived early but found a seat at the bar where we enjoyed two delicious cocktails. Appetisers were so good, each with a little hint of chilli that was just right. Really appreciated the wine recommendation by our waiter. My wife's a big fan of Chilean Sea Bass and declared theirs was the best she'd had anywhere, so big thumbs up there! Took a bit of a flyer...

As always, the Franklin Room does not disappoint! It was my friend's first experience here and she was over the moon! Already making plans to return. A big thank you to Andrew, exceptional service!

The food was exceptional. We had the tartar, mushroom turbine and lamb pops to start. Lamb is too good. Could have had another order. I had the sea bass as a main and finished the meal with the mango cheesecake. Dessert was a highlight. Finally the Japanese whiskey flight put the entire evening over the top. Love everything about the meal.
