Harden's survey result
Summary
Delectable Asian-fusion delicacies – combining dishes of both Chinese and Japanese inspiration – win nothing but bouquets for this palatial dining room in a City five-star hotel, near the Tower of London. On the downside, cynics say “it feels like a business hotel restaurant”, and one or two diners “expected more, considering the big-ticket prices”.

Summary
“A great new restaurant addition to Four Seasons Hotel” that opened alongside the better-known Dame de Pic, which – unusually – combines dishes of Chinese and Japanese inspiration (and has one chef for each cuisine). All reports rate the food highly, but no surprises that it’s no great bargain: “I went on a deal and it was absolutely delicious… not sure I’d have paid the actual price for it though!”
Summary
Open alongside La Dame de Pic inside the City’s new Four Seasons hotel, this Chinese and Japanese fusion café opened too late for survey feedback. The team of chefs hail from Royal China, Sake no Hana and Yauatcha, and – in keeping with the swish setting – ambitions are high.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
