An absolutely incredible experience. The food was out of this world & service was impeccable. Particular mention for the ‘snacks’ and sturgeon/caviar waffle - could have eaten them by the bucket load. The restaurant is lovely, nice and open & with a calm ambiance. Nice to be in a restaurant where the music isn’t deafening! This is a pricey place so be prepared! Absolutely worth it for a special occasion in my opinion.

Truly the best pastry and bread in London ! I would say even better than in France ! And I am not a bread person !! So well deserved - compliments to the pastry chef ! 10 out of 10! Well balanced set menu and deliciously executed food. We were concerned regarding 7 dishes set meal, as we usually do not eat much, however size of the portions and balanced combination of all Ingredients - left us pleasantly full without extra heavy feeling. Overall- so far - for us , personally, the best Michelin starred restaurant in London. And we have been to many.

What takes a restaurant from good to very good is the attention to detail! This is where Trinity failed to get a very good review. Here are a few things that would change that. 1. Wine was warm ( the refrigeration was blamed as it could not coupe !) having to wait for the ice bucket to cool the wine to the correct temp! ( get a Refrigerator that can cope!) 2. Mixing still with sparkling water in my glass. ( I do not drink sparkling!) 3. Had the Steak tartar where the flavours of the mix overpowered the meat completely! ( still a great taste but could have been any tartar not steak!) 4. The Scallops were ordered and the waitron sold the table a mixed Halibut and Scallops dish ( erroneously we were thinking they would be made and served separately) resulting in a dish where the scallop was completely lost in the flavour making it a fish dish rather than scallop dish! Very disappointing as our first thought was, there was a shortage of scallops so they "made a plan" ! 5. a mistake (to our favour) in the bill , where a bottle of wine was not charged for ! Taking the above details out of the overall we still enjoyed the meal however in a Michelin Star restaurant this is inexcusable!

We went for my partners birthday, and we both absolutely loved everything, from the high quality food and the service from the charming front of house. The pastry chef even came out the wish my partner a happy birthday with a beautiful Mignardise. If you have any allergies they are very considerate and I had no troubles with the stafff and they all well understood and were very professional. I would recommend this One Michelin Star restaurant to any who enjoys a high quality experience!

Absolutely love this place. The quality of the ingredients, the simple presentation and colours. Every bite is lovely moment to Savor. The wine selection, the clever cocktails, the lack of any annoying decorations or music all adds to the experience. Excellent service and dishes and chef should be proud to create. Must stop when in London!
