3*Mich. I was disappointed as, to me, it lacked the magic of the Michelin star rating, the marketing and the wonderful glamorous surroundings within Dorchester Hotel.
Only one dish was truly outstanding and memorable which is the scallops. It is a symphony of many different delicious flavours and textures. The remaining dishes were unremarkable.
The Hugel Riesling wine is pleasant; I often have a glass of this exact same bottle in the French House Soho… hmm.
The service set my teeth on edge announcing dishes far too rapidly and without engaging with us…the accent of one is so strong I could not understand what I was being told. Also I was uncomfortable with the manner of the waiting staff.
I dined at Kerridge’s a few days later and both venues have enormously high ceilings; at both I found the feel/setting was unappealing and perhaps cold, compared to other venues.
