The service was so cold that I still shiver! the blonde plated waitress served us with a condescendant look and hardly smiled! we felt very uncomfortable to be there. so when we had to pay £12 for tips I had it hard. I thought for a while not to pay but the waitress look when she understood I wasn't happy paying it, scared me!

We very much liked the duck and seabass from the degustation menu as it was very tasty and cooked very nicely but find the sushi just ok (maybe because we had been at a japenese cooking class the day before). I do think the japenese degustation menu is really nice.

I really enjoyed the decor but my friend find it pretentious.

Overall, due to the frozen service we don't think we will try again!

we went there for dessert and cocktails on a wednesday: amazing venue with a great choice of cocktails. The service was a bit distanced and stressed but still very friendly. Apparently they ran out of spoons so they brought us chinese/japanese soup spoons for our cake - was very weird but they replaced them when asked for forks at least. Otherwise a really nice place, always worth a stop-over for some drinks and to meet friends.

Been to the bar on Saturday night for a friend's private party.
We had the venue exclusively for us.
Such a beautiful place.
The canapes were great and we got offered even a late snight snack :)
Drinks are the most exclusive in town.
Can't wait to book a party for myself; it seems they book semiprivate areas as well.

Will definitely go back soon

in love with Loungelover

Great food, really enjoyed the tasting menu, my compliments to the chef and awesome drinks too. I really enjoyed the sorbet cocktails.
Service was casual and professional, this was my first experience and definitely not the last.
I really want to try all the cocktails and the tempura prawns were superb, I can still taste it!
Lovely waitress and the door team were super helpful with directions to our next place which was also a great find.
See you when we're back in London.

The inside of the bar is pretty and unique but staff are very rude, unhelpful and treat their customers very badly. Prices are expensive. I would avoid this place at all costs.

Superb food, this place has some of the best sushi I've tasted. Everything that we had was perfect. I had a great time and our waitress was extremely helpful with the drinks selection. I had an Eight of Hearts which was a slightly spicy but perfect with the food.
I'll be back again soon. Thank you Loungelover

Yes - the venue looks cool but that's where it ends. Staff - cold. The food was very average for the price. The wine-list (less than ten bottles and cheapest at £22) a joke. Cocktails over-priced (£11 for a martini? Come on! It's just chilled vodka/gin with some vermouth!)
