There’s no flashy name, no flashy decor. Yet this small Soho newcomer punches well above its weight, delivering exceptional cooking in relaxed, buzzy surroundings.

At face value, the menu – Modern Brit via the Med – seems fairly straightforward, but the results are impressive. Highlights from our visit included a bowl of steamed clams and mussels in a fragrant parsley and leek broth, flecked with chilli and slivers of garlic: perfect for soaking up with chewy onion bread. Slabs of succulent, ruby-centred lamb were beautifully matched with roasted artichokes and a dollop of anchovy cream, while a puddle of intense jus brought the just-cooked runner beans into sharp relief. But the real show-stopper was the last act: a glassy, berry-packed champagne jelly accompanied by a creamy, heavily perfumed lavender ice-cream balanced precariously over a crunchy, biscuity base.

In spite of the low-key vibe, there are plenty of witty touches: the blackboard menu can also be found on little scrolls, tucked in with the cutlery in tableside nooks; tap water is served in milk bottles; nibbles come on vintage crockery. The hip staff, meanwhile, are genial and professional, deftly making space in the tiny back bar for the ever-growing fan-base waiting patiently for a table (you can book for lunch, but not for dinner).

I've been meaning to leave this review for a month because I was so impressed and happy with my visit! It was only Wednesday but we were a five, and seeing as no one in Soho seems to take bookings anymore, we were worried about getting a table.The manager told us it would be an hour, but we ended up only waiting 30 minutes and I'm really glad we did. The staff were great - our waiter was very attentive and knowledgable, especially with the wine. The food was really delicious, I couldn't fault it. I had the tuna carpaccio to start, which was delicious and peppery, followed by the steak on special. It came perfectly medium rare. For dessert, I had a rhubarb and rice pudding dish, which was nice, but I was envious of the ice cream also at the table - liquorice, white chocolate and waffle, and marsala and date - and the pear tart was incredible. I was really happy to find a restaurant in central London that offers great food that isn't overpriced or gimmicky. I had a really great evening here with my family and look forward to coming back again!

Positive atmosphere, casual and friendly staff. However portion sizes are too small, for example £7.50 for a cheese board to only get three minute slices of cheese. I also advise ordering extra sides with your meal as servings are limited. Nevertheless, wine is good and starters such as the scallops are quite nice. A nice restaurant but doesn't live out the expectations that have been given on this site.

I never write reviews but this needs to be said.... I had the dish of my life here a couple of weeks ago, was a lemon prawn ravioli! It was out of this world!

Sorry kids, this is the very food that we Antipoedeans are used to having on a regular basis. Modern European? Ask the kitchen where they learned the complexities and intricacies that they include in the food. A shot in the arm for London. A modern palette is all you'll need in order to enjoy. Good food, good wine, good service, good atmos, compliments of the house.
