Excellent special occasion meal with friendly helpful staff and very high quality singing. It did turn out to be a rather expensive evening, but for the special occasion this was okay. My one criticism would be the difficulty in finding the restaurant. The map provided on the web site was not really accurate enough.

I really like this place and the idea - it is so unique and nontrivial. I used to come here several times and not only in London, everytime it was charging and refreshing, but yesterday the action seemed to be quite different... Great singers, as usual, amazing repertoire! But somehow the atmosphere was not festive enough, even a bit boring... Maybe if it is my first time there, I would be impressed much more? Or maybe it is because all people are exhausted after a winter time:)) Anyway, I wish you a good luck! Recharge your batteries!💃

This was our second visit and we had a lovely evening. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the food. We really enjoyed the operatic singing and the two women's voices in particular were beautiful. Definitely worth a future return visit.

Great food and marvellous ambience/ where else do you get your wine poured by a mellifluous tenor and your food served by a honeyed mezzosoprano ....

Eating here is a lovely experience for opera lovers. The food is excellent and every 15 minutes you are treated to a popular aria sung by members of the waiting staff - trained opera singers perhaps between touring or seasons. It's fab to be so close to the singers as they perform, so you are paying a premium for that privilege, but I have never had a bad meal whenever I go.

Very pleasant evening with professional musicians that made the experience one to remember! The staff were very friendly and instantly made us feel welcome. If you fancy something a bit different I would definitely recommend! You get what you pay for.

The opera arias were awesome, they were really good. And the selection of the arias was made to entertain even the novice opera fans, they were mostly the most famous arias. I would definitely go there again for a special occasion. However, the price should have included a drink and a dessert. In a classy place that I listen to the arias and paying a lot of money, I would expect it a 3 course meal or at least a drink. I guess the restaurant is not including this just to make a couple of extra pounds. However, by doing so, it is reducing the class of the restaurant. My suggestion would be making it £50 and including drink+dessert.

A superb evening! The food was excellent, the singing couldn’t have been better, the pianist is extraordinarily talented and the staff warm and welcoming. All in all it was a splendid evening. We are already planning for our next visit.

Smaller and more intimate than I expected. Singers were slso actirs. The pianist was superb, with excellent technique (I was only 2 meters from the keyboard) and worked with the soloists seamlessly. The food was fine but not as memorable as the music.

Great environment and experience. Highly recommended! The atmosphere is theatrical and cosy. Every time the repertoire is different so you get a taster in opera.

starters and mains were served very quickly, so was unsure whether we would be rushed out before opera had started but not to fear this was not the case and we had a fabulous time. Singers were exception performers and standard very high. thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to anyone who enjoys Opera

Absolutely unforgettable evening - excellent singing with an equally excellent accompanist, very friendly staff and good food! Definitely will come back, maybe not because of the food only, but rather because of the whole experience. Would recommend a visit for anybody who likes music, especially classical music/opera!

Food was good overall. I feel the singers were pushing it a little bit too much with the promotion of their services (seling cds at the table while we were eating, going on for 15 mins about how they can be booked for private events, etc...) After spending £45 for a starter and a main I was expecting my box to the contribution to have been ticked. Overall it was a very unique dining experience that i would definitely recommend to others.

Unsure about this venue when I booked to celebrate my wife’s birthday. But it was the best experience ever, the opera singers were outstanding even better than on the stage. My wife was shattered when the waiter brought out a little birthday dish and the first time ever that she was serenaded by the 4 singers with happy birthday!! A truly magical experience never to be forgotten.
