Bob Bob Ricard (1 Upper James Street, London, W1F 9DF) We first visited in December when it just opened and quite liked it. We have just been back – wow, what a transformation! The atmosphere is amazing – all twinkly and glamorous, millions of little lights and reflections everywhere. The menu is now larger and better organised (we found it confusing and limited on our first visit), the service very proper. Our tomato consomme had such a clean, fresh summer taste that both of us were instantly addicted. My companion's sea trout with caviar sauce was in her words “divine”. And my spicy beanburger was so meaty and moist I had to check twice that I did not get the carnivore's version! Perfectly finished our meal off with a strawberry and cream souffle to share. What a difference ten months make – we will certainly not wait this long for our next visit.
