Pétrus (1 Kinnerton Street, London, London, SW1X 8EA) The food was very good – innovative, tasty and very well presented. The wine list (along with the transparent, circular cellar) was impressive, though the prices appear to be quite elevated. What marred our experience was the fact that Petrus made a huge fuss about our reservation (online bookings were closed out and when we rang, we had to literally plead to get a table) and yet there were at least 4 vacant tables on the Saturday we were there during the entire 2-hour period we spent at the restaurant. Also, I did not find the “discretionary” 12.5% service charge that was tacked on the bill to be particularly nice – but then, perhaps that is just me!
