Located at the Acton Green end of Chiswick, this restaurant offers good modern European food and excellent wine (many served in caraffes) at reasonable prices (especially before 8pm) in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Look out for their Gourmet Nights, you will often find unusual and rare dishes on the menu.

There are two choices of menu; an early evening two or three course menu running up until 8pm and after 8pm an a la carte menu is available, both of which are refreshed frequently. Some would see this as a failing - you cannot always get the same dish you have had previously - however you will always find something that you will like. The last time I was there I selected Pidgeon on a bed of mashed potato from the a la carte menu...I wasn't quite sure why they brought me a finger bowl, but I soon learnt. Very tasty but a little fiddly and messy!

Service is second to none. It is warm, friendly and efficent - the staff know when they are needed and when they are not - rather than being suffocating and overbearing as it can be in similar establishements.

I have personally used this restaurant for celebratory occasions, I know others who eat here much more frequently and I'm certain that if I lived a little closer I would be there more often.

Price wise, early evening (before 8pm) you can expect to pay in the region of £15-£20 per head, a la carte £30-£35, including wine.

A little more adventurous and not as safe - menu wise - as some other restaurants, but as long as you are prepared to eat something a little different you will have a fantastic meal.
