Hush

Though it’s tucked away in a charming Mayfair mews, there’s nothing hushed about this smart two-floor dining & drinking complex, particularly on balmy summer evenings when local office workers pack out the courtyard terrace. The ground floor is home to a large & lively modern brasserie touting a comfort food menu of macaroni cheese, cod & haddock fishcakes & sticky toffee pudding. While most visitors have no complaints about food quality, the distracted, ‘surly & unhelpful’ service attracts less praise. For a more polished approach, head upstairs to The Silver Room, where gracious, knowledgeable staff serve a more ambitious menu: roast pave of Aberdeenshire lamb served alongside slow-roasted shoulder was so flavoursome it barely needed its rich reduction, while a gloriously simple grilled Dover sole was perfectly cooked. Only the noise from the adjoining bar takes the gloss off the experience.
