Vince ElgeyApril 29, 2017Any minute you think Audrey Hepburn or David Niven's going to walk through the doors and order Gin & Tonic or a Martini Expresso
- Tommy KDecember 23, 2017Amazing place to look at one of the most spectacular dining areas. It’s small plates with a reasonable selection of vegetables and meat dishes
Really enjoyed dinner here! Incredible building and the tapas style small dishes were really tasty. Would definitely recommend.
Lucy ChambersJuly 2, 2019We were in the Den for a private function. Great food and great service. Pork belly, broccoli and pimientos de Padrón deserve a special mention.- HannahAugust 19, 2019The space is incredible and the food is delicious! Would especially recommend the beetroot balls or burrata. Felt very looked after by all the waiters.
One of the best bars in the city - good drinks and a really impressive building.
T SJuly 31, 2023Went there for a Sunday roast galore. It looks nice, but too busy/loud environment, and the food was ok but not awesome.
