“nice setting”

“At the time of writing October 2010 Alex Gaulthier has moved on to his own restaurant in Soho. Had the tasting menu, which is similar to the one under the previous chef. However some of the flavour combinations were a little discordant, and the cooking less precise. Still same friendly and well informed staff.”

“sublime, sophiticated and unfussy food, especially truffle risotto, consomme with foie gras, venison with red-wine poached pear and truffled celeriac mousse, signature Louis Quinze chocolate dessert; great ingredients, clean tastes, elegant, simple presentation; the delightful maitre d's relaxed, assured welcome, which extended over our entire first visit; a lively yet also comforting room; space between tables; excellent, friendly table service from a young brigade; charming, knowledgable French sommelier and heavily French (as it should be!) wine list; dinner 3 course menu price (£60 + service) correct for quality provided; parking outside easy at night”
