Len from Nu and C !

Drops by for a beer and ends up helping me for a couple of hours in the dishpit because my dishwasher does not show.

I love my job, I am grossly overpaid and I meet interesting people everyday !

The Hamilton Street Grill Chant !

P.S. Len will work for beer ! :biggrin:

Has anyone been to the Living Room (on 4th and Bayswater) lately?

I used to live across the alley from it and we went all the time, espescially for the 3 for 2 small plates after 10pm. The food was always awesome, and the service friendly and warm. I haven't been back since Bernard left the kitchen, but I have many fond memories of it.

You will often find Erik Methany, the owner, cruising these board under the moniker "easy".

This year marks their 10th. :smile:

Has anyone been to Le Crocodile lately? Somehow I never see it mentioned in our threads.

^ It's on my list. I've heard a lot from word of mouth (not eGullet related) and it has all been good.

Maybe they are an institution and don't need more good reviews?

I was there back in August, I believe. I had lunch there. It was great--particularly my main course, which was the cornish hen stuffed with sweetbreads.

Went there on Valentine's Day this year, and it was excellent. Service was seamless and all the food courses were enjoyable, even though they were slammed. I'd agree that it is kind of an institution and is consistent in its offering.

Le Croc definitely gets love on this forum - maybe not as much as it deserves, but yes it and Chef Jacob are definitely mentioned. See the Lumiere 10th Anniversary thread.

One more for me. When I dined at Fleuri at the Sutton Place Hotel a couple of years ago, I was very impressed with the flavours, presentation, and the inventiveness of the dishes, and my first thought was why doesn't anyone ever talk about this place? I'm not sure if the chef is the same now. The room is also beautifully elegant, and is really fun for feeling extra "fancy" for an evening. I've enjoyed their chocolate buffet a couple of times, and more recently, booked a really nice afternoon tea for a bridal shower in a private room, with the food coming from the Fleuri kitchen. So I would recommend the afternoon tea too, which is served in the restaurant.
