St John (26 St John Street, London, EC1M 4AY) Ate here on the evening of Friday the 17th of April and the food was excellent. Sadly the somewhat chilly reception by an over officious maitre'd got the evening off to a cool start but the approach of the rest of the waiting staff was very good indeed. Between us we had the roast beef, the best piece of beef I have tasted in a long time and the saddle of rabbit which was also beautifully cooked. this was followed by eccles cake and lancashire cheese, a combination which worked better than expected, All in all a very pleasant dining expernence and if somebody could warm up the maitre'd before he starts work of an evening, it would have received 10 out of 10.
