My daughter and I met here for an early dinner at 5 p.m. before I was due to meet a friend for a drink in Beaufort Street at six before an event at the Astor. I’m not saying we were tight on time but initial...impressions were not good when we waited for almost ten minutes until one of the staff mucking around in the bar/kitchen areas decided to come over and check our booking. There were no other customers we could see at that point. So not a great start but the place redeemed itself after that by serving some of the best food I have had in a long time. I love Beef Wellington so when our server told us that was the chef’s special I persuaded my daughter to share this since that’s usually how the dish is done in restaurants i.e. they rarely serve individual portions (although any place that did would get my custom). We accompanied this with chips and aioli (OK) and asparagus with a harissa sauce (excellent). The Wellington was one of the best I have ever had - just fabulous. If we had a bit more time I could probably have wolfed down the lot but I have promised my daughter she can have the lamb she wanted when we go back, which we definitely will.More
