Executive Summary: Some good elements and nice food but way below what I would expect from a 2 starred restaurant. We opted for the tasting menu just for context Let’s start with the good bits. The food was skilfully prepared and used good quality ingredients. (Which isn’t saying much but it’s a good start). Unfortunately, however, it was ultimately underwhelming for such an esteemed restaurant. The flavours were bordering between subtle and bland and many dishes were unbalanced. I know that French food is subtle and precise. But this wasn’t just subtle it was much less. The only real highlight was the cured salmon which was a beautiful and balanced dish. The soufflé was skilful and a nice start to the meal. The John Dory was not too bad but the mushroom cannelloni side was incoherent and overpowering for the subtlety of the Dory. Furthermore the bisque was terribly under seasoned and so pretty much a nothing addition. Completely unbalanced dish. The Amuse Bouche was quite frankly hopeless....almost surprisingly bad. The service was excellent - friendly, attentive, professional - and the ambiance was lovely but unfortunately the food just isn’t even close to what I would expect from such an establishment....or, I hate to be this crass, but for this price point.

Possibly one the best nights out in my life. Very subjective I know but everything was excellent. Initially we were worried about being in a place with a dress code and such imposing standards. Those concerns were allayed almost immediately. We were greeted and looked after by four people (including the manager and the sommeliers) who were extremely cordial knowledgeable and simply very nice. Michel Roux Jr dropped by to say hi which was a nice touch. We had the tasting menu with wine pairings which was a great idea. The food and the wine were exceptional. No pictures I am afraid but those on the website are not an exaggeration, the food looks that good and tastes even better. I have to say though, at the cost of repeating myself, that the waiting staff made our night. My special unsung hero mention goes to an Italian waitress who was so nice and enthusiastic about the food she was giving us that she, if possible, enhanced our enjoyment of that. She even took me to the kitchen to say hello and thank a chef who turned out to come from some 20 miles away from where I grew up. Such a memorable night which we hope to repeat soon!

A fine experience in the grand French tradition, intact and unreformed out of the old world. Even with COVID safety measures, the stately ambience is impressive and the cooking remains precise, measured and delicious. Deft service from polished front of house. Truly a special place.

Probably the best dining experience I have ever had. We went for the lunchtime special, which was amazing. The ambience, the decor, the lovely waiter and waitress’s, the amazing food, the beautiful private dining room, everything about this experience is a must. The only thing we were disappointed with was not meeting Mr Rous himself, oh well will have to go again!! It’s fabulous you must must try this restaurant you will not be disappointed!

As always a perfect experience despite all the current COVID challenges. Food, service and ambience exceptional and Michel is, as always, dropping by the tables to say hello. A really memorable lunch. Thank you.
