Party of three came here for a birthday dinner and we loved it! We had been meaning to try this spot for years and it did not disappoint. The venue is beautiful, and the decorations and interior design are mindful in creating a retro style that feels like a break from 21st century London. As a starter, got the scallop, lobster and shrimp pelmeni which were simply mind blowing; the flavours were distinguishable but blended great with the lobster bisquet. As mains, we got the steak tartare and tuna tartare to share which were also delicious; the quality of the product was noticeable and we especially recommend the tuna tartare, which is served with a soy and citrus dressing which really elevates the plate and brings out the richness of the tuna. We also got a main serving of the truffle potato and mushroom vareniki, which was rich, earthy and tasty. For desserts, we ordered the flaming creme brûlée which was frankly perfect, and the BBR Signature Chocolate Glory, which was a whole experience, tasting different chocolates with different textures and not too overwhelmingly sweet. Additionally, since we came for a birthday, they brought a complementary dessert with a candle to blow. The service was outstanding; the waiters are attentive and kind, making the experience even more enjoyable. Would recommend for any special occasion, 10/10!

The atmosphere is great, it’s a throw back to many years ago. The disappointing part is they may be leaning on the building history and haven’t improved with the times. The food was average and service was less than expected for the price point. It may be focusing on champagne buttons instead of high quality food and service.

We visited during the Wes Anderson Phonecian Scheme "Marseille Bob" collaboration and I adored it - the bar was quiet when we visited at 6pm for some post-theatre drinks, so we got to really soak in the atmosphere and drink at our own pace. We tried all of the alcoholic collaboration drinks and found them all not only tasty, but visually pleasing - the Hand Grenade was refreshing and smooth, and the black "Tycoon" drink even had a gimmick where it was "tested for poison" and turned black. Bottoms up! Whether or not you're into Wes Anderson, I think this cocktail bar has a lot of personality and is worth a visit.

This place is a true London institution. I finally visited recently on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. I had a 50% off the entire bill offer so it was the ideal time to visit. Venue - 2 floors. Decor - Nice, elegant, French-inspired smart brasserie. The lower-ground floor has a more opulent feel to it Menu - Great selection. Something for everyone. Cocktails - Very nice. Food - Very good. The Chicken and Champagne pie was excellent, although I recommend ordering a side of mash to give the meal more balance. My partner had the Cottage Pie. It was on the small size however it tasted delicious. I opted for the whisky truffles for dessert. I was disappointed by their size as I was expecting something slightly larger although they tasted wonderful and I could really taste the whisky. Service - Was good and attentive, even though it was slightly on the haughty side. I did find it irritating that a waitress was cleaning cutlery and loudly dropping them into a drawer. I'm sure she didn't realise the noise it was creating, however the sound of metal clanging does not create a great atmosphere, especially when the restaurant is near-empty. It may sound like I am being overly fussy however I do think a little care and thought to the guest experience is lacking in these situations.
