    Great menu choices and nothing disappointed. Well presented dishes, white wine from Portugal was a delight, and service was very attentive (maybe a little too attentive - probably as the restaurant wasn’t that busy). Nice decor and very spacious, situated a stones throw from Oxford Circus. Definitely going back!

    Excellent food. Speedy service. Fantastic atmosphere. They have a D.J. that sets the mood with music that works beautifully without intruding on your conversation. Just the right mix of fusion music at the pitch-perfect volume. Brilliant.
