Square Meal review of Bentley's:

Irish chef Richard Corrigan’s acquisition of Bentley’s in 2005 has been one of London’s most successful restoration jobs of recent years, returning this 90-year-old restaurant to its rightful position as one of the capital’s top dining rooms. Perch on a stool or sit at a proper table in the downstairs oyster bar for simple feasts of Frenchman’s Creek oysters, dressed crab or fish pie, or head upstairs to the more formal Grill, an elegant space of polished wooden floors, blue leather chairs & William Morris fabrics, attended to by friendly staff. Top-notch seasonal ingredients are treated to precise cooking so that flavours shine through, whether in a starter of Belvelly smoked eel with creme fraiche & potato pancakes, or a main of roast wild salmon with purple-sprouting broccoli & hollandaise sauce. Meat dishes show similar simplicity – Elwy Valley lamb with lettuce, mint & peas, say – while puds such as peach Melba strike just the right note with the nostalgic surroundings. Notable private room, too.
