Food glorious foam 
Blimey yes, this food at this little restaurant (ate there this week, Tuesday night) was absolutely beyond our expectations, quite amazing! Everything I ordered seemed to have a delicious 'foam' or veloute element and the combinations of ingredients were surprising but turned out to be fresh, seasonal and glorious.
Not too expensive and a must return restaurant in a sweet neighbourhood (cor wish could afford to live there) well served by the no 53 bus - stops just outside. Very lovely staff and a genius (Danish?) chef who was unperturbed by my nut allergy, hoorah! We enjoyed a very romantic dinner there on a quiet night and would certainly recommend it!

Wonderful!
Ate at this tiny restaurant for the first time last night with someone who has known and loved it for years and was totally sold on it.
Trusted his recomendation but was really pleased to find such fantastic food and a wonderful, discreet (out of time) atmosphere in Soho (opposite Mildreds, up near the John Snow) It has such an unassuming frontage that I must have been walking past it for years and never seen it. Everything we ate was utterly delicious from my beef carpaccio with rocket, parmesan and truffle oil / his dressed crab, and my seabass / his perfectly pink lamb through to the scrummy pudding that we shared so as not to pop.
Not cheap but not too break the bank - c. £80 for two with wine and water.
Small, dark, intimate (not the place to get lots of mates around the same table) perfect for a discreet liaison or meal for four. In summer they have a couple of tables outside too. Lovely staff and attentive but not over-fussy service. Really need to book. Firmly on my own list of favourites in the centre of town now.
