Breaking news
June 2020: although not explicitly linked to the C-19 pandemic, the closure of this legendary restaurant was announced during lockdown. There are, apparently, "early plans" for a relocation.
February 2020: Caprice Holdings is re-branding the Mayfair Garden site it bought in 2016, in order to open the first of a spin-off chain of Le Caprice, which has already worked successfully for The Ivy. As at February 2020, there's still no sign of an opening date.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Even at the bar, one feels like a star… and there are often real stars eating as well!” – this “timeless and elegant” brasserie, tucked away near The Ritz has endured well within Richard Caring’s empire and, although the cooking “has fallen away a bit”, the overall package remains many a savvy Londoner’s favourite. “Staff are upbeat” and “make you feel well looked after”, and its buzzy atmosphere “makes other posh rivals feel flat and stuffy”: “some nights it zings, sometimes it just feels like an efficient machine, but either way, it’s a top night out”, particularly on a date. (A spin-off brand, Caprice Café, is due to open its first branch in late 2019 in North Audley Street in Mayfair).
For 32 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).

"Great news that Jesus Adorno returns When I first went there decades ago, without a reservation, he behaved as if it were his fault that he didn’t immediately have a table"
