About Danielle
Danielle has presence and does not spend it carelessly. She is 170 cm and curvy, her hair long, straight and black, her eyes brown and inclined to hold a look a beat longer than expected. Her clothes are deliberate: dark, structured, one strong line an evening and no competing details. She reads as expensive the way good tailoring does, quietly and from some distance away. She is not decorative company and would be poor at pretending to be.
She is twenty-nine and lives in South Kensington. English is her working language and she is precise in it, a habit picked up from years of being the calmest person in difficult rooms. She is direct without being blunt, funny at low volume, and comfortable with silence, which makes her unusually good company at the end of a long day. She does not talk about her own work and she does not ask twice about yours if the first answer was short.
In Kensington she chooses Kensington Place on Kensington Church Street, the long glass room that has been feeding the neighbourhood quietly for decades and is very good with fish. It suits an evening that wants a proper dinner rather than an event. Afterwards there is the walk down the hill towards the gardens, or a taxi to your hotel, and she is content with either. She is at ease in the antique shops on the same street, if an afternoon is on offer. Dinner with her runs to two hours and she has never once looked at a phone in that time.
Three hours is the shape she recommends to anyone who asks. Dinners and long evenings in Kensington are where she is most often wanted. A note naming your day is enough, and confirmation follows by return.

Booking her evening
Danielle is at her best over three hours or more, with a day's notice for a table on Kensington Church Street. Longer evenings suit her particularly well.
Her figures are the house figures, printed in full on the rates page, and the whole arrangement runs in one thread from the first line to the confirmation.

An evening with Danielle
Danielle's evening tends to begin with an hour that is not about dinner at all. An antique shop still open at six, a slow look at things neither of you will buy, and a running commentary rather drier than the shop deserves.
Dinner is early enough to be leisurely and late enough to feel like the point of the day. She orders fish, almost always, and defers the wine to you with a faint warning that she will have an opinion afterwards. She is not a performer and does not fill an evening with anecdotes. What she does is pay attention, steadily, for as long as the booking runs, and then leave at the agreed time without any drama at the door.
Danielle, in her own words
Long. An hour is an introduction. Three is a conversation.
Almost nothing. I go to look at what other people once thought was worth keeping.
No. If a guest has talked all day, the kindest thing I can do is not require him to keep going. Quiet at a table is not an absence of company. It is the part of the evening where nobody has to perform, and I am perfectly comfortable sitting inside it.

In the margin
The remarks card for Danielle is still blank, which is usually what discretion looks like. A note appears here only when a guest writes one, she agrees to it, and the house has checked that it reads as a first name, a month and nothing private.
