Took my 82 year old Dad here as a treat. Contrary to earlier reviews, service was exceptional, especially given that he had some special needs in form of using a walker and cane. Had the 3 course fixed price lunch, and every single one was outstanding. Wine by the glass was superb. He is a slow eater, but there was no rush whatsoever. And to top it off, before we left, we got to see Mick Jagger as he came in for lunch also.

The service here was AWFUL

The service here was AWFUL and one of the managerial staff downright rude. The food is what you'd expect, but is unfortunately overshadowed by the service.
