I went for the breakfast and very pleased. There is a nice Buffett available with pastries and standard continental options. In addition to the Buffett there is a nice option for kitchen made dishes. You can also have coffees made to order. I would recommend taking advantage of the location and service

Had a really nice time here. Olga was our server and she was great — super friendly and on top of everything. The service overall was spot on, really quick and attentive without being overbearing. Food came out fresh and hot, and the whole vibe of the place was relaxed but well-run. Definitely somewhere I’d come back to.

What a beautiful evening! We stopped here on the way to the theatre. The patio was so lovely at sunset. Rokaya’s wonderful energy guided us to great menu choices. The oysters were show stopping and the salmon carpaccio was flawless. Beautifully plated and harmonious flavors. Veuve and Sancerre were worthy accompaniments! Don’t miss the mango mousse. This was such a memorable evening. Thank you Whitcombs! We shall return.

Incredibly delicious food and attentive service. Could not have asked for better weather either so we dined on the beautiful terrace. Would highly recommend the oysters, Caesar salad with prawns, filet mignon. Best I’ve ever had! And if you drink, their espresso martini and Agrumes 75 are must haves! Excited to visit again when in London.

I booked via The Fork for the first time and seemed to work well though having had to move my booking a day ahead I realised the staff has to confirm and take the booking and put it in their other booking system. You’d have thought the systems can be somehow linked these days but at least it seems like they have a system in place. We popped by Sunday evening so not sure how busy it normally gets but atmosphere was good and staff were pleasant from door to restaurant and when we left. We didn’t feel too rushed either which was good. Though maybe advise staff to not be too presumptuous with guessing whose cocktail belongs to who. We were not too hungry so went for a few dishes to share: Seafood platter: this was delicious and fresh with plenty between two people (forgot to photograph). We enjoyed all the bits, though the Tabasco on the oyster was just a tad too much for me (as someone who can’t handle spices well). Steak tartare: I rarely come across one with Parmesan and we very much enjoyed it, the blend of flavours didn’t overwhelm the steak and helped bring out the tenderness and flavour. There were just enough sheets of pane carasau to share and finish the tartare on, whilst some places don’t give you enough. Mushroom Risotto: (also photo to photograph) the taste was well balanced and creamy, truffle flavour was just right and not overwhelming nor too little. Potato Mousse: (sorry no photo) this was light and fluffy. We had it to break up the taste from the risotto so we can enjoy the risotto without it being too full on. Chocolate Cylinder(?): This was more my partners choice as I had my liquid dessert but had a mouthful and it was tasty, not too heavy. The flavours from the compilation complimented each other very well. Thank you for the lovely evening.

You will gonna enjoy a 5-star service and food here! We booked from the Fork, not with much expectations. We ordered their the Fork menu plus an ordinary Sunday Roast! The Sunday Roast is impressive, comparatively more expensive than what you can find in most places of course, but it is worth it. The tenderness and the taste is excellent. Can enjoy the performance as well once you finish or before getting in for your meal at the lobby during weekends!
