MD's review of Hush

We chose to dine at the brasserie on the ground floor on an early weekday evening after having frequented both the bar and neighbouring venues in Lancashire Court. Upon arrival the brasserie looked liked it had the potential to serve up a good evening and we were promptly seated at our table. Service began swiftly and attentive but as with all not quite bar/not quite restaurant type venues as soon as the crowds horded in (mainly hedge fund types and socialites) the waiters were becoming difficult to spot. Luckily this happend after we ordered our mains, which came in good time. The Seabass Fillet with truffle dressing and artichoke lyonnaise appeared to be a nice dish but upon taste I realised it could have done with a little more seasoning and if an ingredient such as truffle dressing is substantial enough to add in the dish's description on the menu, than a little generosity on the plate wouldn't go amiss either. My fellow diner's risotto was so-so and could have done with a little more oomph as well as a few more grains on the plate considering it was the main option. Desserts were rich and chocolatey and wine selection was good too. Altogether an average dining experience in nice surroundings but still leaves me unconvinced on brasserie dining being an evening option. Something to also bear in mind is the price, we had the good fortune to dine with a 50% offer but had it been full price, the sight of the bill would have been hard to take!
