Our group of friends used the private lounge at Cafe Gannet for a slide show. We decided on having sushi for dinner and was not dissapointed. It was the best sushi I ever had- including one of the best sushi restaurants in Soho. Furthermore, the service was prompt and the staff friendly. We had a wonderful evening- thanks Cafe Gannet!

The best restaurant in the... More

We had a lovely meal here with our 2 young kids. Even though its a bit more upmarket than your average restaurant, the jumping castle and trampoline out the back made for a more relaxing time for Mum & Dad. Sushi was delicious but I felt the portions could have been larger(suppose thats a compliment!) We went early and left... More

We have had more than one really good meal here. Lunch on the patio with a fabulous view, dinner inside on comfortable chairs with classically beautiful decor or even sitting in the chairs at the fireplace in winter for coffee have been most enjoyable for us. A cocktail at the Oyster bar is also to be recommended. More

Food was excellent (prawns, a great salad, deserts -- all great!). The service was a bit slow (but this is not a place to hurry thru). But the price was very heavy. More
