It's very expensive and probably not quite worth it to most people (which I why it isn't a 5 star rating from me). However, if you're willing to splash out this is a great restraunt and bar. Note: dress code for men is jackets and smart casual or above.

The have a great wine selection, generally very good menu (although extremely limited, only two dishes;risotto and mixed roast vegetables, for vegetarians). The service was impeccable. The highlight was likely the ambiance and building itself, it felt grand and a bit over the top but very pleasant. They also had a good pianist playing. Also as other reviews noted, it was quite empty when we booked, 7pm, but started to see more business around 8:30.
