Harden's survey result
Summary
“A beautiful setting in a new members’ club” adds lustre to this autumn 2022 newcomer in Soho: a stylish co-working space complex that’s a sibling to fashionable Mortimer House, and with ex-Duck & Waffle chef, Tom Cenci at the stoves. On its bistro menu “some quite traditional dishes are given modern makeovers” which err on the hearty side (Chicken Cordon Bleu, ‘Nessabocker Glory’) and fans say results, especially at brunch, are “fantastic”. Ratings are limited, though, by the odd reporter who feels the cooking’s little more than “food assemblage at top prices”. (Many newspaper critics have rushed along, and the consensus is also somewhat mixed – Giles Coren of The Times – a member of Mortimer House – thought some of the cooking “epochal”, while the Telegraph’s William Sitwell found the whole enterprise a “public-facing cash cow” with a “total charisma bypass”).
Summary
This 100-cover, autumn 2022 Soho newcomer is the work of Guy Ivesha (founder of Mortimer House) and has well-known chef Tom Cenci (whose CV includes Duck & Waffle) as executive chef. A casual bistro format is the aim, delivering a classic seasonal menu. It will sit on the ground floor of 1 Warwick, a sibling members’ club to the original.

Nessa Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Enjoyable, if not “set-the-world-alight” food, decent service and a nice environment. It’s a nice place but it is in a competitive area and could be even better (and maybe it will get better)"
"Fantastic brunch"
