Questions
Before you come
Do I need to reserve?
On Fridays and Saturdays, yes. On other nights half the room is kept for guests who walk in.
Is there a dress code?
Smart. A jacket is welcome, a tie is not needed, and clean trainers are fine.
Do you serve food?
Small plates from the hotel kitchen until midnight: oysters, croquettes and a very good club sandwich.
Are there drinks without alcohol?
Six of them, made with the same care, on the back of the list.
Reservations
