Behind every memorable meal is a presence you may not always notice, but one you can definitely feel.

For Luca Gaeta, our talented Maître D, it’s the ‘small, anticipatory details’ that shape a guest’s experience. Courses times just right, water quietly refilled before a glass runs dry, lighting subtly adjusted as the rooms come to life.

For Luca, exceptional service is about being genuinely attentive without ever being intrusive. And on the busiest of nights, remaining calm is everything: “Staying positive, focused and leading by example” sets the tone for the dining room.

With Luca at the helm, we’re proud to welcome guests to our special corner of St James’s - not only for exceptional dining, but for service that truly encapsulates the meaning of hospitality.

This is what true hospitality is about - human connection, exceptional food, and

creating an atmosphere that lets guests relax, knowing they’re in good hands.
