Harden's says
In the basement below Caviar House on Piccadilly, this restaurant and members’ bar opened in February 2024. The mood board for the design was ‘Parisian decadence’ (with straplines on the website like ‘The Mistress will see you now’). Decorwise, this translates into acres of plush dark-red fabrics set against white tablecloths. No survey reports yet on the Gallic-inspired sharing plates of lobster, caviar and truffle with – as the website puts it – ‘a supporting cast of French fries, and oysters’. That gold leaf is felt necessary to gild some of the puddings, though, may hint at priorities that don’t always put flavour first.

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).
