Harden's survey result
Summary
Stuart Ralston’s New Town follow-up to Aizle combines a “cool, NY-style vibe with Asian-inspired plates” (and is named after a former NY roomate of his); by all accounts it’s a “fun place to be” (if “a little dark as a space”), particularly for those who “love small plates” that are “absolutely delicious” too (“you could feel the care and passion from the kitchen”).
Summary
“Excellent food and service” win all-round approval for this chic New Town venue from chef-owner Stuart Ralston: a follow-up to his Aizle which is inspired by his time in NYC (and named after his roomate there). There are strong Asian influences in the cooking, and a “front-of-house bar for a pre-dinner drink, sadly a rarity these days”. Top Menu Tip – “the sesame prawn toast is a favourite (as is the North Sea crab!)”.
Summary
Chef-owner Stuart Ralston's diner-esque follow-up to Aizle, inspired by his time in NYC, and named after his roommate there, food snapper Bob Noto. A “great city-centre location”, bang in the heart of New Town, and “outstanding” small plates with a strong Asian slant complete the picture.
Summary
Stuart Ralston, chef patron of Aizle, has opened this new venture offering a casual dining experience influenced by his time working in New NYC and named after his late friend, food photographer Bob Noto (who, it is said, ate at Spain’s famous El Bulli more than any other guest). Early press reviews suggest this is one of the better openings in the City in recent times.
For 33 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).
