FOH

Sunny day but on the chiller end, we had one table opting to have a drink outside before their lunch but that's the extend of terrance use. 89 covers with all sections indoor in use. Really smooth service with no real peak as the reservations were streched out. A good mix of leisure and business lunches, with the leisure tables mostly opting to settle in for the afternoon.

BOH

FOH tasted the squid starter dish during breifing which had an immediate impact as that stood out as our starters sold just behind our staple carrots. T60 Nick Lane really enjoyed their lunch today but pointed out that the green salad is the best salad he's ever had, "amazing combination of fresh produce and great dressing!"

Events / Reservations

Really smooth service today, table of 2s was the main feature with no large parties in. A few familiar faces and a handful of business gatherings. Terrance season officially over with only one table requsting to sit outside on arrival before their meal. Notable Guests: Emanuela Tarizzo, Hester van Royen, Derek Sweeting, G Coakley (Industry).

Beverage

Classic weekday lunch with softs being the top sellers. Wine highlight is the Terrazze dell'Etna Carusu by the bottle, selling two to a table.

FOH

We started the evening off with a great briefing from Finn and Olivia, who ran us through our house tequila and everything that goes into making a spicy margarita, with margaritas being our FOH focus for the week. In Section 1 tonight, we had a new waiter in training. It was their first time shadowing a section with them continuing this for the rest of the week. Not a particularly busy night on paper in terms of covers, but it wasn't the smoothest. Turns were tight and the pace picked up quickly. A few tables had roughly 5–7 minute delay, all handled well by the team. The bar had a bit of pressure tonight with counter and we had two groups of 10 on the terrace for drinks ordering a high volume of martinis and cocktails. Agustina jumped in to support, however we did have some drink delays at peak, including a missed order for the terrace. We recovered with a complimentary bottle of Pet Nat, which the guests appreciated. The reduced ALC of 12 in the 60s ordered six different sharing fish dishes, putting a pinch point on the grill. Kitchen handled it very well and the guests loved the food, but this is worth considering when planning larger ALCs T20 - really enjoyed their evening opting for pairings with each course, they loved the clafoutis and asti pairing. T12 Alex Reynier returning for their 4th visit, was very happy to be showing new friends the restaurant.

Events / Reservations

Managed to pick up 12 walk ins throughout service. biggest peaks were at 6/6:30pm. Quite a bit of interested for drinks on terrace early evening due to the weather. turns were slightly delayed but we managed to move things around. one table continued desserts at the bar. Our last table of the evening was Peter and Anna. Peter opted for the lamb for the first time and loved it! They're returning on Thursday ahead of Peter's birthday. Notable Guests: Sally Singer, Peter Saville

Beverage

T10 were really into their wines and went for a bottle of the Bendito Destino which they loved. T23 wanted a more medium-bodied Burgundy and went for the Maison Deux Montille Bourgogne Rouge. They did find their second bottle a bit too spritzy but we replaced that bottle and enjoyed the other bottle a lot more. Over all a lot of interest in wine tonight.
