Olivier WeberSeptember 9, 2014Liked the bright, relaxed setting of the place, right near Wimbledon common. Food was correct without blowing my mind, service efficient. Would be ideal place to eat an afternoon cake. I will come bac- Chris HainesJune 23, 2014The Rib eye steak is a definite must try here as they are cooked to perfection and accompanied with the best peppercorn sauce I've yet to try! Delightful peach Bellini's to try and awesome desserts!
Imogen CMay 1, 2021Currently small amount of seating at the front, kept warm from the heaters. Lovely staff, delicious food.
- Pedro SalvadoAugust 18, 2017Fantastic rib eye steak with peppercorn sauce. Succulent, great piece of meat. Lovely atmosphere and great service all around.
Elinesca von FigenschouNovember 12, 2013Friendly, but not a place to go for a latte & a hang out. £5 for fried eggs and bread which was about as unexciting as Christmas in summer - one slice bread, two small eggs, no garnish, no butter.
Cagil KasapogluJuly 9, 2017Food is really good but I'd mark it down for disappointing cleanliness. Outdoor tables were sticky of leftovers. But food and bellini delicious.
Kevin BrownApril 29, 2013Great food in the village. Same high standards as the main restaurant on the Ridgway but more bistro-ish atmosphere
Oliver ShreeveAugust 6, 2014A steakhouse that provides an intimate setting, and a surprisingly large portion of food
Michaela JarosJune 21, 2012Went for lunch, lovely atmosphere but I thought it a bit spendy. Dinner sounds more reasonable.- Love the rare breed burger with a glass of Malbec - perfect for supper with friends
- Alia BJune 11, 2019Bad experience, called to ask if I could have breakfast or if I was too late,the waitress said we are still taking orders for ten mins, rushed, parked, 11 mins later she said no you are too late.
Set menu mon - thurs evening good value @ £20 for 3 courses, Inc a wine or beer
