Smallman1 I went there on Fri for the first time for lunch. Great refurb (I used to work almost opposite in 2009 so often went there for lunch pints - when that were still acceptable practice) but the restaurant tables are too small and too close together.

The food was largely great - smoked salmon then fillet and duck fat chips for moi - and a notable shout out to the fresh, warm rolls they serves. But the Grand Marnier souffle I shared with the Duchess was a tepid eggy horror. Two glasses of mid table plonk each.

It was a shade over £200, though. That’s Michelin star territory in my experience and it neither has nor deserves one (or more).

And despite prefacing lunch with 3 pints of Guinness I’m buggered if I could taste any difference in the pints from anywhere else in London. My ill-educated palate, I presume.

    You’re welcome Dave!

      Smallman1 when have you ever given actual feedback? You reviews of everything are non existent. I think you just like to tell everyone what you are up to.

      However I look forward to your 3 word review as always

          Request to rename thread: “A list of restaurants”.

                  Had a nice rack of lamb at the Libertine at the Royal Exchange next to the BOE yesterday. Cheeky bottle of rouge to wash it all down. Vibing place due to all the city cunts shouting at each other about their holidays, and the staff are great. Got served by Flares Mrs. Proper buxom Rustie Lee type, full of beans, laughed like a drain at nothing in particular. All in all, decent. 7/10

                  A most excellent review that Millsy!

                  I mean, I’m no Smallman, but…
