Named after its address, there's no excuse for not finding this sophisticated stone-floored 'cellar' restaurant. A reception desk leads to a smart lounge area off which is a long room divided into cosy booths. The Gaudiesque space then opens up into a maze of plush purple and chocolate brown-coloured sections and rooms, culminating in a small plant-filled conservatory. Menus change monthly and punch well above their weight in terms of presentation and quality. Superb seasonal dishes such as the bestselling filo basket of spicy haggis, and chargrilled chicken in peppercorn sauce are all the more impressive for their low prices. As much as possible - desserts and warm crusty bread included - is made on the premise. Very popular with West End professionals. Fine food and atmosphere, without the faff.
