“Inquisitive approach pays off with of the moment dishes” – Fay Maschler, Evening Standard
“Serious cooking, serious service, in a room without pretence. Not so much mini-Gavroche as major Caractère.” – Tom Parker-Bowles, Mail on Sunday
“Roast turbot with smoked cauliflower is an easy contender for the best dish in its postcode” – David Ellis, ES Go London
“The service is excellent: friendly and well oiled. The whole evening is fun and flexible thanks to its pick ’n’ mix attitude. It’s a modern French approach with a touch of Italian that’s reinventing the family wheel, if you will. But this time with a female Roux. Bravo.” – Emma Henderson, Independent
