A sleek makeover by Gordon Ramsay Holdings some years back transformed this John Nash-designed coaching inn from its former life as a rough-&-ready pub. Now, the York & Albany houses a glossy bar, a rustic deli, 10 bedrooms (with plum views of Regent’s Park) & a split-level restaurant. The ground-floor dining room is infinitely nicer than the larger basement, though the food is refined throughout. Despite Angela Hartnett upping sticks, the kitchen continues to create nimble assemblies such as organic salmon ceviche with avocado, chilli & lime, or chargrilled poussin with burnt lemon chimichurri sauce, plus a sprinkling of pastas & risottos in homage to Hartnett’s original Italian focus. There have been grumbles over ‘teeny’ portions, ‘pompous’ service & pricey wines with little at the lower end of the scale. However, the handsome bar gets a unanimous thumbs up – great for cocktails & wood-fired pizzas.
