Had a fabulous dinner and our server was attentive and friendly. Loved that it was quiet as so many restaurants these days a quite loud. If you are looking for a relaxed and top notch dining experience then this is the place for you.

It was my first visit and I was very impressed. The smaller spaces made the dining experience feel more personal. The food selection for lunch was excellent as was its quality. We were not rushed to order or to leave. We were able to chat easily despite all of the tables having diners. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, we celebrated our wedding reception here 25 years ago. It is as beautiful as it was then. The food and atmosphere were absolutely perfect! A memorable evening for sure.

Every dish we've ever had at this restaurant has been fantastic and the service is outstanding as well. It is an expensive restaurant, so do keep that in mind, but it's well worth it ...a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.

Excellent service, genuinely friendly and considerate. Food was very good; Caesar salad and scallops for starters. Both excellent. Mains were the chicken, salmon and pork. I didn't love the beet arancini that accompanied the salmon, it was tasteless and didn't really go with the rest of the dish. I'd have preferred mashed or dauphinois potatoes. Dessert was peach cobbler (good) and crème brûlée. I will absolutely visit again with I'm next in London.

Food was very good and they were very accommodating for gluten-free. We came for brunch, but we were disappointed to find out they don't do brunch on Saturdays (only Sundays). A friend came from out of town, and we were having a nice visit catching up, but after an hour and a half we were asked to leave because they needed our table for tea service (restaurant was half empty). Felt rushed especially after what we paid for lunch ($150 for lunch for 3).

Presentation and quality of food was phenomenal. Service was attentive yet not intrusive. Atmosphere a little more stuffy then what we prefer but overall Excellent experience one again. Steve and Sandra

I took my husband for his birthday and we had a wonderful experience, the food was phenomenal the salmon poached to perfection and the prime rib tender and delicious. Our server Jenn was fabulous, and the quiet atmosphere was exactly what we were seeking. We will definitely be returning sooner than later.

Took advantage of the "set price" menu as part of Londonlicious. The selections on this menu were amazing and lots of options. Allie, our server, was very attentive and did a great job with us. The ambiance is very nice. Would definitely go again.

This is one of my favourite special-occasion restaurants in London - especially in the summer when the outdoor patio is open. The menu is focused but enticing, the staff are well-trained and friendly, and the environment is comforting. I'm looking forward to my next visit there....

My dinner was excellent! My husband's prime rib was better last year (less fatty and better prepared to his liking) It was still a nice experience. Our daughter's wedding shower was there so it brings back nice memories. Great service. I did bring a friend for the afternoon tea last year and it was awful. I do not recommend that as service and food was not good.

Absolute pleasure dining here. The beet salad was wonderful and dinner presentation and dessert excellent. Porkchop may have been slightly overcooked. Very impressed with sensitivity to my husband's celiac issues. Service was wonderful

First time dining here. We were celebrating an anniversary. Had a great table and the service was excellent. The food was incredible!!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a fine dining experience.

This restaurant is the dining room for the inn so it is not very large, but the area in which we were sitting was perfect for us.We went with two other couples for a Christmas brunch, and we all thought our waitress was exceptional. The food was very good; however, even though it was on the menu and we enjoyed it when we visited previously, the buffet was not available. That was our only disappointment.
