Camilla Long wielded her knife in a scathing review of this new venue at The Beaumont hotel near Grosvenor Square, describing it as “another money pit posing as a restaurant”, in a glass building she likened to a “premium MRI/CT/medical screening service advertised by disgraced TV stars on Instagram”.
A dish of “overcooked lobster linguine” was typical of London’s modern luxury hotels in pushing poorly executed dishes of expensive ingredients and disgusting concepts like “caviar on ice cream” on a wealthy transient trade who don’t really care what they eat.
Staff were friendly and knew when to apologise but, she said, “not a single one of them led me to believe they had been in any restaurant before”. The atmosphere felt like “an elaborate organ donation trap and we were both about to be chloroformed”. She “would have preferred a colonoscopy”.
