As for the burgers I would suggest this place for a visit, as the service is very good, the setting pretty relaxed and the quality of the ingredients top notch. The patty was nice and cooked as ordered( don't ask for well done), and the french fries hand cut(!), although the bun was not as freshly made as it should be. There is a good wine list too. But, in London you can find many excellent burgers for one third of the price like Patty & Bun, Dip n flip, Honest Burgers etc.
