“Superb in every department” – the “complex” cuisine Phil Howard offers at this acclaimed Mayfair dining room is complemented by an “immense” wine list of “amazing” quality; the ambience can seem “sombre”, though, not helped by the place’s popularity with “Identikit men in suits”.

Phil Howard is “one of the three or four best working in the country”, says the critic, in a thoroughly positive review of a Mayfair restaurant that “was always good, but [has] got better”. Howard is, as Gill sagely observes, “one of the very few top-rated chefs who actually still cooks when there isn’t someone shouting, ‘Quiet studio, action!’”. How true.
