Extremely difficult. Reservations typically book up weeks in advance. Prime tables are reserved for hotel guests and regular VIP clients. Try booking well ahead or visiting for lunch when tables are slightly easier to secure.

The signature Crab Doughnuts are a must. Also try the Grilled Octopus, the Chiltern Burger, and finish with the theatrical Baked Alaska. The cocktail bar is also exceptional.

Smart casual to smart. Think designer jeans and a nice top or a cocktail dress. It's a fashionable crowd so dress to impress, but it's not overly formal.
