Seven Park Place at the St James's Hotel & Club

Christopher J. ( 30s, Male, London )

After excitedly reading about Seven Park place I hurriedly booked a table. With fewer than 30 covers and William Drabble's reputation I was surprised to find a table at my preferred time for Saturday lunch less than two weeks since opening. I was even more surprised to find that the maitre'd knew me by name. This, I discovered was because we were the only booking for lunch. This was a private dining experience and a thoroughly enjoyable one. The Tortellini of lobster was amazing although I was rather envious of my partners snail dish. Main courses were equally enjoyable and beautifully presented. I was left wondering exactly how it was possible to cook Lamb so well. In truth I wanted to try it all although sadly at £45 for 3 courses it's just slightly above ‘market price’ for non residents. Drabble needs to trick his customers into excellent value set meals and they'll overspend on Wine through guilt. Go on a Saturday afternoon and enjoy great food and incredibly attentive service!
