Spring - Piatti

The atmosphere is clean and luxurious but light and almost feminineIt is a beautiful room with a bright and open feeling in a convenient location.

This was a beautiful restaurant with fantastic decor, high ceilings, and was a fancy, nice place that you'd go on a date, or celebrate a special occasion.

massive bright and airy modern dining room from a university campus. the service was good, but not top notch and the same can be said about eating. fish was a dry tattoo and pastas over par. some rooms to improve, but there were some highlights. Visualizza piatti

the perfect place for a special tasty bite. the dining room is stunning, there are not many places in london, where they really feel the feeling of the room with high ceiling, natural light and much space between tables, so they are not constantly distracted by talks the next table. and eating is nice, seasonal and easy. a big hit with everyone in my family. for me it is for special occasions, but both parents have made it a more regular favorite.

Beautiful restaurant; very good food. I was visiting London from Sydney and took some family out to dinner in early December. In a great historic building and the restaurant has a lovely fresh feeling. Staff are dressed in a way that will continue to attract comment. I liked the staff outfits but not everyone will (get over it if you don't like them). Staff very professional. Food was above average without blowing my mind. Winelist certainly turned the meal into a more expensive evening, but it is London and high quality budget food was not what I expected. So no surprises and best not to the think about the currency exchange. Overall enjoyable and to be recommended if you can handle the pri...

to girls. when the london restaurant was opened for the first time in 2014, it drew a fair attack on critique. Not especially about the menu, the laying of food, the professionalism of the front of the house or the quality of the products. this critique had a gender bias. the early part was accused of being “too maid”. kamille long wrote a particularly meerring, catty review for the food and drink department of the sunday times. there were their fabulous engagement rates on their social media platforms, as hundreds of Mini-Me Twitter followers flipped in a huff to “sure our booking”. baa. baaa. baaa. from this one could imagine that jump was decorated by a band of 4 year old “Frozen” fans or...

In an attempt to inject some culture into the massive slobfest that was the Christmas and New Year break, I contact S, house doctor in training and mistress of the dark art of decluttering. On the penultimate day before the shock of the desk , I need some ideas. Let’s go to the Egon Schiele, she suggests, at the Courtauld. I immediately think of Spring, also at Somerset House, for we are going at 11.15 and I am worrying about where we will eat lunch. I’m not sure I’d recommend all that emaciation and in-yer-face genitalia as a precursor to lunch and I’m pleased that we work our way through the stunningly good permanent collection, so that I can draw on some less brutal imagery before the sof...

where the Waterloo Bridge meets the beach of the aldwych, stands the famous neoclassical somerset house. the first palatial residence on this side and with this name was built in the 16th century by the herduke of somerset, more vague to king heinrich viii. Since then it houses several royals queen and consorts, various important personalities, various seats of learning, admirality, poor and many other government departments and offices. during its long history it was rebuilt, had added wings and underwent many renovations, among others such lighthouses of the architectural world as inigo jones, sirristopher wren, sir william chambers and james wren. oliver cromwell's body was here in condit...

The space is really lovely. While we waited for some of our party to arrive, we sat in the tree lined atrium, which has a sky light and beautiful tactile plasterwork resembling leaf veins. The main room is also light and airy, with charming installations of drifting porcelain leaves along the walls. We came for lunch, and I imagine both rooms to be at their most attractive during daylight hours. While waiting with drinks we were served good olives and outstanding smoked almonds sprinkled with fried rosemary and coarse salt. I started with gnudi with spinach and sage butter. Nice simple sauce of lemon and butter, but I would have preferred the sage to be a little more fried so that it lost a... Visualizza piatti
