Plenty of other great write-ups on here so will keep it brief.

An all round exceptional evening, great consistency throughout, wonderful technique utilising plenty of high-end ingredients, impeccable service with the odd (and expected) human error here and there. Pacing spot on. Dish and drinks presentation clear and thorough - although they may want to raise the height of the over counter lighting, taller staff kept hitting them when presenting if they forgot to duck :)

The non-alc pairing is a mix of their own creations and off the shelf stuff - majority very good with many working well with the dishes but not necessarily enjoyable on their own.

Differences noted since my last visit; they dropped an amuse (cockles), the truffle dessert was a supplement but now is a fixed course on their menu and I did miss their taro puff that used to come along with the main meat dish.

The upsell throughout is still strong and even starts from the confirmation text on the day with the wagyu supplement.

They very kindly repeated the tuna for us - up there with my some of favourite single bites and, the repeat we did of the caviar I think says it all.

ROW on 5 sits in my top 3 London favourites alongside Ikoyi and Core.
