Square Meal review of Rhodes W1 Restaurant:

This new fine-dining restaurant at The Cumberland Hotel is an entirely different proposition to the hotelish Rhodes W1 Brasserie within the same property: it’s smaller, more intimate & boasts a romantic, softly lit interior by celeb designer Kelly Hoppen. And it all makes for a suitably sophisticated backdrop for the very accomplished food, which, surprisingly, eschews the updated Brit classics for which exec-chef Gary Rhodes is famous in favour of modern French cuisine. A beautifully presented & delicately flavoured salad of sweetbreads with freshwater crayfish & soft quails’ eggs might be followed by expertly executed salt-roast pigeon with white asparagus, cabbage hearts & lemon cumin gravy, rounded off with a well-kept cheeseboard or raspberry soufflé. Meals are punctuated by complimentary plates of delectable canapés, amuse-bouches & petits fours, which make the steep prices start to seem downright reasonable, not least when you factor in clued-up service. An Old World-focused wine list suits the surrounds to a T.
