Lunch

Managers: Ruby · Report by: Ruby

FOH

Busy start to service with majority of reservations coming between 12:00-13:30. Peak at 12:30. Set up this morning was great, team worked well and spirits were high. There were a few partially seated tables so this caused a few orders to go through at the same time, but nothing that affected the guests experience. The pass team (Tanu and Adam) were great! Sophie H first time solo in a section (2). She did an amazing job and was very aware of what was going on in her section and great with the guests, she sold the most Verbal special Pigeon! Overall a lovely wednesday lunch service, a nice buzzy atmosphere.

T41 Louise So- Betsy found out they were celebrating a job promotion during conversation and sent over 4x comp bubbles, they were over the moon and said it was a lovely touch.  They had 2x tuna to share between 4 and said it was so delish.

BOH

- Great feedback on the Pigeon verbal special from all guests that ordered it !

FOH

Great set up from lunch to dinner, Betsy presented a classic marg on briefing and went through all the components, she did a great job and the team were asking great questions. 

It was a super smooth evening overall. We had an extra bar tender this evening to relieve some of the pressure we felt last night but it probably wasn't needed. We sent them home early. It seems Tuesday and Thursday's are the new Friday's when it comes to cocktails.

Sophie had some training on drinks running and serving wine table side. Junyi worked with her and also kept an eye on the bar tables and terrace service, once this slowed down we managed to move people around to better acommodate the service.

We had two set menus this evening, both went very smoothly. The second was Niru Ratnam gallery who had their own wine delivered to us. 

Craig Bohland, a previous complaint returned this evening. They thoroughly enjoyed their evening and event added an extra tip to say thank you. 

Turns went super smooth this evening also. Not a huge demand for walk ins, we had a couple of tables walk in post 9:15pm.

BOH

A great evening on the pass with good timings and communication. 

We had Wood Pigeon as a special today, almost selling them all! Tuna also sold really well today. 

One of the set menus had a handful of allergies, these were handled brilliantly by kitchen. Thank you!

Events / Reservations

Around 30 covers for pre-theatre menu tonight. A lot smoother on the turns front this evening, despite having more than yesterday. The 15 minute block before late evening set menus really helped with table turns. 

Notable guests included: Niru Ratnam gallery, Jamie Ashley & Kasey Kuffour, Jess Hodcroft - having a wedding with us in April 2027, Craig Bohland returning PC, 
Carla  Gottlieb, Hilary Cottam

The small things were visible as we entered. The host asked me if "she can help me" as if I showed up to ask for a toilet or direction to the nearest station. In a nice and cosy evening, you didn't served outside on your nice balcony (only drinks) while the restaurant inside was full from corner to corner, which is a shame. The service throughout the evening was not bad though not professional enough and sometimes confusing (the wrong wine had been served to us - though was replaced immediately). The dishes were mostly fine, but the macarel was over grilled and so was dry from the inside, the red mullet was in very good texture but somewhat tasteless, and the beans could be seen across at least three different courses, in which in one of them they were not needed. Overall it wasn't bad, but I expected much more from such a restaurant.

Excellent first visit, will be back. Food very good, service friendly and well trained, atmosphere great. All good. But one of the worst Negroni’s I’ve ever had! Rule number one of a good Negroni is do not let the ingredients get diluted. Your use of multiple small ice cubes means they melt quicker and dilute the taste of what should be a powerful, neat drink. Won’t stop me coming back but this is an important distinction between good and excellent when it comes to drinks! The food was really delicious though. Thank you!

Delightful as always: great food, friendly service and a warm buzz without being too noisy. Wine list much improved!
