Description:Occupying the imposing premises of what was formerly a bank, all that remains of the original interior is the ornate high ceiling, with its splendid Art Deco light fittings. The designer, Tony Thomas, has opened up the space and extended an existing gallery that now runs around the room at mezzanine level, providing a second tier of tables. A long marble-topped bar by the entrance provides a convenient holding area for what is, at lunch times, a very busy dining room. Veneers on the bar reflect the red and black graphical scheme, inspired by the folds of velvet that are typical of a Caravaggio painting, reflecting the opulence of what is one of the most luxurious of restaurants.
