Reviewed on September 02, 2008
"But I'm not sure what would tempt me back. The food, as good as it is, doesn't quite compensate for the cramped and noisy atmosphere. If you like buzz, you'll love The Botanist but I just couldn't take it seriously." READ REVIEW

"Helped along by first-rate staff, the atmosphere was relaxed and the mix of other diners varied - couples, families and elegant, older Chelsea-ites." READ REVIEW

"Richard & Peter" Harden's
Reviewed on May 19, 2008
"The food – from a menu of contemporary Anglo-French brasserie ‘classics’ – does not really measure up to the prices... If it were furniture, it would be the sort people expect to find at Peter Jones – the descriptions might be reasonably enticing, but the products are solid rather than inspiring. READ REVIEW

"A good meal then but what I found odd was that this was the meal I was expecting to get at Hix Oyster and Chop House – it just seemed very ‘Hixian’..." READ REVIEW
