    Had a fantastic celebratory meal here with friends. The setting is majestic, grand, almost old worldly yet intimate. Like your table is a cozy island in a fast moving river. A busy night, but the service was quick and attentive with some great personal suggestions. Food was hearty and traditional, without being too heavy. The Wiener Schnitzel Holstein, Pickled Cumber, Paprika Green Beans and Soufflé are highly recommended. I wish the oysters had come off the half-shell and my dirty martini with an olive garnish.

    I remember when this place first opened back in 2011 I think, we all loved the sense of theater and as I returned after a long break nothing has changed. It’s still wonderfully sparkly, with brisk service and delicious food cooked perfectly. It’s a joy to have a table cloth and fresh bread too, a bargain for the £2 cover charge. It’s not cheap and service charge is 15% too but pure theatre and perfect for people watching!

    The ambience of this place was just stunning! We had some lunch and coffee at the Delaunay Counter, the food was very good and the service was just lovely. They made our first day in London and my birthday special. Even the tea, which came in a big pot, including a seperate little can of milk, was fun. Thank you :)
