Wonderful little place 
A friend of mine recommended and booked this restaurant for an anniversary dinner and it was heavenly.
On a quiet street in Barnsbury, you'd be unlikely to stumble across this cosily romantic little gem.
The service was outstanding - friendly and knowledgeable waiter who would chat about options on the menu and give good advice on wine choices. The food was delicious: a small and carefully thought out menu of seasonal and well-sourced ingredients. I had duck which was wonderful but the surprise star was the quirky dessert 'pumpkin, pumpkin and pumpkin' - pumpkin nougat, sorbet and syrup. Yum! A pretty good bet for foodies.
The whole experience was lovely. It just showed through in every aspect that they really care what they are doing.
The friend of mine gets 5 stars herself as she'd arranged a couple of glasses of champagne to be given to us when we sat down to peruse the menu. Husband gets 5 stars as well for sorting out such a nice surprise! Sorry neither of those are included.
