How quickly Pimlico and Westminster – until recently, an almost totally overlooked zone of central London – is changing. This is never more apparent than on the ten-minute stroll from Victoria station to the newcomer we review today, during which time you are never very far from a building site.
Put doubt aside, though: this turns out to be a thoroughly good local (and very handy for anyone with business in or around Victoria Street). There’s nothing startling about the food, but a dinner for two was satisfying, and the tiramisù was – in an old-fashioned, very creamy, way – exemplary.
Service is very good too, but – just as important – this is the sort of place where you feel that how much you spend is broadly up to you. You could easily spend £80 for two, but the staff will still be equally charming if, for say a pasta-based meal, you spend little more than half that. And – ’80s style or no – central London could do with a lot more places like that.
