Lovely restaurant, close to most of the Theatre's, all the food cooked fresh so allow plenty of time, staff very polite and helpful, does get very busy from 5pm till 8pm so booked in advance, we also used The Fork app which gave 50% off food bill.

Fantastic restaurant on the strand perfectly placed by a number of theatres. The food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. We shared a margherita pizza, mixed salad and the calamari. All tasted amazing and the chilli olive oil was very good.

We were on a tight schedule and the restaurant was very busy but the found a table for us. On top of that, they were very prompt with our order, food and check as they knew we had theatre tickets. The service was outstanding. Each person we interacted with was friendly and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The food was phenomenal! And bonus, I had my first Pimm’s cocktail in London! We lucked out by happening to walk into this restaurant. We would definitely return.
