Superb Four Hand dining experience. The Service at La Chapelle is always second to none and Arturo and Tom (and the Kitchen team) did us all proud. The initial snacks, Crab Custard and Lamb were excellent and taste sensations. Thanks all for giving is such a wonderful evening...

Overall great vibe and excellent service. I would have caution with the pork belly, it was intense. The feta dip and croquettes were stellar and the cocktails were delicious. The small plates can be bigger than you think, the leek portion size was huge. Would come back
