I had a very fine lunch there at the beginning of summer.

I don't recall the meal exactly but it was something like foie gras 3 ways for starter & lamb w sweetbreads for mains. Without wine it was around 20 pounds & I do remeber think it was very good.

Wouldn't mind trying an evening meal - I look forward to your report.

Thanks Blind Lemon.

I have resies at Menu, Ramseys (RHR), Locatelli, and Aubergine in two weeks.

It just struck me that it appears I have a Gordon Ramsey issue to deal with!

Cheers,

JFK

JFK -- For further exposure to Ramsay (albeit not necessarily his French styled cuisine), consider a meal at GR Connaught. There is a thread on the restaurant; I believe it will be open by early October (please verify prior to reliance). :blink:

JFK, if you think you might be overdosing on Ramsay, might you consider putting your rezzie at RHR up for sale ? I'd quite like to go, but I just can't organise my life that far ahead :sad:

JFK -- As much as I'm on macrosan's side, Gordon Ramsay RHR would be a reservation to hold onto, regardless of whether other GR facilities are contemplated. :laugh:

Cabbie, you get off this thread immediately. You've been exceeding your daily ration of posts as it is, and you're 2,500 miles away from RHR. Gee, give a guy a break :sad:

Macrosan,

I regret that my resies at RHR will not be "EBAYED". It has been a year since my last visit and each visit has improved on the last. Although I may have overdone it this time with the quantity and quality of places, and fear I may in fact turn into a sweetbread or an entire lobe of foie gras after this trip.

I look forward to returning and providing some insights into "Menu". I wouldn't normally jump head first into a new establishment so soon, but I just couldn't resist.

Cheers,

JFK

Aw heck, JFK, you were just influenced by Cabbie on that one :wink:

If you turn into a foie gras lobe, please don't appear at any of our eGullet get-togethers --- you'll get eaten up in the rush :raz:

Enjoy a bunch of great meals, JFK, and do report back at your earliest. There are lots of people here waiting .....

I had a really great meal at Aubergine last night. Menu gourmand was £140 with wine.

It was a perfect example of how a restaurant doesn't have to be hugely innovative or break out of a well-established trend to be good. Classic combinations cooked in a technically excellent manner with solid, well-matched wines.

Sometimes it's more clever not to try to be smart.
