"Back to braised oxtail: dark, dense and savoury, with mashed turnips; kedgeree brings salmon and smoked haddock curry with a wimpy Franglais flavour, plain basmati and a curious torpedo of poached egg on top. Soothing and pleasant it is. Kedgeree it isn't." READ REVIEW

"I skirted the lovely blackface mutton & turnip pie from the Ivy and piled into a rabbit pot (it was called something fancier but I can't remember what), and some wild venison. Both were ace; the menu is a shining example of the new confidence in British food, and the execution was faultless." READ REVIEW
"Impeccably Irish stew before partition is heavy on the potatoes and kidney, skimpy on the meat, as the dinner of the labouring poor should be. Sparse but honestly flavoured. There seems to be something not quite right about eating this in Mayfair for pleasure, wearing Italian slip-ons." READ REVIEW

"Wherever Hix goes, wonderful things happen to razor clams, and here, where they are baked with garlic, is no exception..." READ REVIEW

"A main course of liver and bacon was accurately cooked, but somehow missed that final degree of satisfaction. Side dishes for the unadorned mains were good, but should have been for something approaching a fiver a time." READ REVIEW
"The artwork that is the trolley is wheeled out at lunchtime with a different dish for each day of the week. Clang, clang, clang goes the trolley - zing, zing, zing go my heartstrings - when I see Friday's hay-baked leg of lamb and Saturday's Loomswood Farm roast duck with blood-orange sauce." READ REVIEW

"This was the tastiest, most enjoyable and by some way largest lunch I've eaten in months. The Grill may not win Michelin stars for Ferran Adria-style imagination or ambitiousness, but its commitment to British food, lovingly cooked to bring out its finest qualities, makes it an instant favourite. I'll go back as soon as possible." READ REVIEW

"The cooking is now traditional to the core. Expect beef on the bone, oysters, and classic fish dishes. The set lunch is excellent value, but be sure to book since half of Piccadilly and Bond Street will be joining you." READ REVIEW
