Good:  I have never had a bad meal here.  Service and menu are very, very good.  My meat, last night, was enormous.  This place, I think, is better than Jamie's.

Bad:  The acoustics is as bad as you'll ever get.  You can't hear each other speak.

It is doubtful you'll get a table without booking.  I would go on a weekend: Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.  It'll be quieter.
