Oyster Meister’s latest review

Caxton Grill at St Ermin's Hotel (St. Ermin's Hotel, 2 Caxton Street, London, SW1H 0QW)

Originally went there for a Food4Media junket and had great demo of the Josper Charcoal Grill by Hus the executive chef. Liked the place and thought I'd go back for a ‘regular’ night. Went for my birthday with the better half! Not that busy mid week but it was end of January and a particularly bitter night; which explains why I marked the atmosphere down a bit. The staff were expecting us, they were attentive, well trained, knowledgeable and friendly, top marks all round. Place is beautiful great for lunch or dinner, private or business. I'll come back to the starter in a moment the; reason for writing this review! Main course was mixed grill and mixed seafood platter, both great although cooler than ideal! Shared a desert. Wine selection and advice was nicely above average. Only down point they frond upon supplying a doggy bag. However the starter; we had the Rope grown Shetland Mussels in white Rioja and chives…by a mile the BEST MUSSEL course I have ever had in any restaurant anywhere…FACT!
