Another of our “you don't have to be posh” Michelin * lunches that my friends and I attempt to do 3/4 times a year. The food is top qulaity here, but portions are small and prices are steep.
We were located towards the back of the restaurant (it appears bigger with the mirrors and black) so unfortunately no witnessing of the cooks doing their thing. I found the high tables and chairs a tad dis-orientating at first, but the sublime execution of the foie gras burger soon makes you forget that – and remembber they are small so its got to be good.
The langoustine tail (yes, one) with the basil was again brilliant, but leaves you wanting more. I guess this is the idea – to leave you frustrated and begging for another mouthful.
Like I typed, very good, but not cheap.

The room is fabulous in this restaurant – high ceilings, large windows enabling to look at the wonderful building that St Pancras station is.
So when my work colleague suggested lunch, Iimmeduiately said yes.
I've never been to a "name"restaurant so soon after an opening, so I don't know if I'm being harsh with my opinion about the service that I received.
On both my starter (harrogate loaf) and my main (rabbit & prawn pie) the incorrect plate (one of my colleagues) was put before me. With a discretionary gratuity of 12.5% being added to my bill (not forgetting the £2 cover charge – what's that about?) I felt I had to let the waitress know of this shortcoming.
However, my main concern when I dine out is the quality, flavour and taste of the food. And the food here is good. As stated before I started with the Harrogate loaf with a parsley salad. The salad on it's own was slightly over seasoned, but combined with the terrine tasted on point. My work colleagues both had the bacon olives and I was fortunately to have a taste and again a tasty dish.
The rabbitt and prawn pie had succulent big pieces of rabbit, but I'm not sure this is a dish for a warm May afternoon. The pease pudding was a new experience for me and I could have eaten that all afternoon. A wonderful new experience for me, which I will attempt to replicate.
My friends ordered the featherblade steak and cumbrian lamb respectively along with side of roast potatoes and their clean plates, said it all.
I'm not convinced that the menu is appropriate for the warmer climate as it does come across more comfort cold wet windy days in its style, but I'm sure with time this will be addressed. I hope I'm invited back as I would say yes once again.

I visited Galvin @ Windows for a birthday celebration and we were fortunate to occupy one of the larger tables situated by the large window (does have a greenhouse effect on a warm day) over seeing the spectular views London has to offer.
Unfortunately this along with the charming service from our waitress was the highlight of our meal.
Call me old fashioned, but when I go out for a meal, the main focus should be the food. Unfortuantely the food here was not worthy of a Michelin 1*. The problem being – lack of seasoning not only on mine, but on all the dishes that we all tasted. I had to request salt and pepper for my organic pork chop.
Fair enough, we opted for the lunch menu, but we have eaten lunch menus at Maze, Alain Ducasse @ Dorchester, Ramsay @ Claridges in the last 12 months and this was easily the worse 3 course meal we have had.
The pineapple desert lacked flavour as if the pineapple had been in transit for a long while. I don;t normally choose fruit desserts. However I had a pineapple ravioli @ Royal Hospital Road quite a while back and that was probably the best desert I've ever had at a restaurant, so was hopeful that this pineapple dessert would evoke that memory. It didn't.
There was nice touch at the end with a nicely decorated plate of chocolates with “happy birthday” written around the sides, but other than that a mediocre meal with a nice view of London.

I finally visited Tapas Brindisa on a Thursday afternoon prior to a spot of shopping in the market. The service was prompt and friendly and we sat to our table immediately.
The food was ok, not spectacular and I was disappointed that I had to de-vein the prawns in chilli and garlic for my guest. I was also disppointed with the potato bravas. I remember eating potato bravas @ Meza on Wardour Street a few years back and how wonderful it was for a veggie dish. Meza was my first experience of Tapas and unfortunately the Brindisa version wasn't half as good.
The highlight was the ham croquettes and I could easily eat 2 or 3 portions alone! Also the anchovies with roasted vegetables was tasty. Unfortunately the clams in bacon & butter beans was sold out so I was unable to try this combination that on paper read nicely.
I wouldn't rush back here in a hurry but if I was invited to eat there again, I would go.
