Christopher J.’s latest review

Quo Vadis (26-29 Dean Street, London, London, W1D 3LL)

We were greeted at Quo Vadis by the maitre'd who looked like Fergus Henderson's immaculately tailored younger brother. Incredibly charming guy and perfect front of house. Our guests were unfortunately a little late and as we booked the previous day we and only managed to get a very early dinner table which had a turnaround time of 2.5 hours that was already ticking away.

Our guests arrived, we were shown straight to the table and enjoyed pies, steaks and terrines. Solid English fayre. Dinner didn't feel hurried despite, the starters came out quickly, we had time to sink a couple of bottles of Wine but as the plates were removed I knew it was time for us to do the same. Fergus then suddenly reappeared, invited and escorted us to the private club upstairs for live entertainment and rejuvenating cocktails. It was a pretty perfect evening.

I thought that the Blue Print Cafe was terrible but Jeremy Lee's cooking has evidently really moved up a few levels since then and with a great team have put Quo Vadis back firmly back on the map once again.
