The restaurant provides for 120 covers within a continental setting. A spiral staircase leads to the basement where subdued lighting and extensive use of full height wall mirrors combine to create a number of discrete areas each with their own intimate atmosphere. Also included are a wine library, a visible food preparation area, staff facilities, kitchen and cold store. The toilets are remarkable for the fact that they have been built deep into the former bank vaults.
