Harden's survey result
Summary
Chef-director Adam Byatt (of Clapham’s exceptional Trinity) is the latest incumbent of this splendidly traditional panelled chamber in one of Mayfair’s landmark hotels, which has seen a succession of occupants come and go over the years. On its 2019 launch it inspired up-and-down press critiques, but all our (admittedly limited) feedback in the current survey was very complimentary about Matthew Starling’s modern European cuisine, and in September 2021 a long-time maître d’ at Le Caprice, Jesus Adorno, joins the team to add further sparkle.
Summary
Trinity’s celebrated chef, Adam Byatt, is set to relaunch this stately panelled dining room of the foyer of one of Mayfair’s most historic hotels, nowadays owned by Rocco Forte (whose late father, Lord Charles Forte inspired the name of this new venture). Adam is the latest in a succession of chefs (most recently Heinz Beck, of Beck at Browns, RIP) who have somehow failed to hit a home-run in this potentially splendid, traditional chamber. According to the PR we should expect an ‘evolution of great British cuisine… while embracing a bygone era of service with a sense of theatre’.

For 31 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).
