Food
Diners still obsess about the
grilled calamari with nahm jim dressing
and succumb to chef-patron
Chris Black’s memorable trotters if
on special. The risottos are exemplary,
as is the duck, which may
come with gingered butternut mash
with orange sauce and confit zest.
Wine
A thought-provoking
selection is stored in a temperature-
controlled environment and
decanted. Spanish sherry is
offered by the glass.
Service
Relish service as it
should be: attentive, discreet,
pre-emptive and confident. Dining
etiquette is strictly observed.
Ambience
A contemporary space
that exudes warmth. The décor
plays with neutrals and textures,
from wooden floors to white plastic
dome lights and booth seating
in chocolate velvet. Chris’s travel
pics feature on the walls.
And...
There’s a fantastic setmenu
lunch special. (TG)
