prism or one lombard street

[ellenesk]

I am in the process of planning a dinner, and have it down to there two restaurants. Any thought are appreciated.

must be a very strange set of circumstances that leads these two to be the final list!

try the don

It is for a private event, and the don is unavailable

Neither. Go to Bonds in the Threadneedle Hotel.

Had a decent corporate at One Lombard last week. It's not the type of place to win over the napkin sniffers on here, but it does the job.

I have to agree there. A beautiful dining room, in the smart-casual position in the service spectrum. The food is better than the service suggests. Wine list a bit lacking, but not a disaster.

I was really rather disappointed a couple of weeks ago by the Don's main restaurant, (the exception to a lackluster night being the wine list). Lord knows why it's traditionally been difficult to get in. I guess it's a captive City market (or was....).

Rhodes 24 is very variable I find, from good all the way to downright forgettable, although the bread and butter pudding is worth the trip.

And returning to the question, assuming there were reasons for narrowing it down, I've never eaten at Prism, but have eaten perfectly well at the 1 Lombard Street Brasserie.

thanks, i would be taking over the restaurant and brasserie. My dinner at lombard was definitely better than that at prism.
