We had a lovely evening in a very nice, ambient and chilled restaurant. We were slightly disappointed by the food, it was certainly nice, but we were expecting more for what we paid.

Sad to say that I was really looking forward to trying Brawn but the rude waiter couldn’t make up for the lukewarm steak, lack of vegetable options, or attitude we were served.

A very overpriced restaurant, having in mind the quantity of food served in each portion. We didn't have a great experience with the wine choice as well, being asked to explain better why we didn't like the first wine we chose (as foreigners, we explained our lack of technical vocabulary; the waiter was indifferent to it). And our table didn't have the proper attention it should have had. We were a bit invisible there. So no, no recommendation on our part, unfortunately.

Lovely space, bright & airy. Nice music, candles in tables. Atmosphere was great. Staff lovely, our server was very friendly, great prompt service. The food tasted delicious - scallop ceviche, duck, seabass with mussels. Dishes were beautifully presented too. Only comment was the portion size. The scallop ceviche seemed like one or two very small scallops diced, priced at £16. We got this to share & felt miniscule, especially because it was so 😋. The seabass main priced at £30 was also small, with a few mussels & beans as accomplishments, didn't feel like a complete dish unfortunately.
