We tried the scallops as a starter and followed that with hake. The food was presented without fuss and tasted as if it had been caught that day - super fish dishes priced reasonably just off Tower Bridge. Manuel Vilas the chef has got this...More

Walked in at 8pm on a Friday night in the middle if summer to be told be the 'receptionist', who was on the phone, that they were closed. Don't waste your time.
