Harden's says
The wine-led restaurant group opened its third venue in April 2023, in the picturesque Shepherd Market, on the former site of Boudin Blanc (RIP).
Harden's survey result
Summary
“What a fabulous new bar and restaurant where Boudin Blanc (RIP) was” – this latest, April 2023 member of the well-known, wine-led group has been instantly hailed as a “wonderful addition” to picturesque Shepherd Market. “Thoroughly grown-up in style, it feels a bit more professional and slick than the lovely Holborn original”. In particular, the superior bistro cooking is “more interesting than in WC1”: “no culinary fireworks or cheffy tricks” but “worth it even for non-wine drinkers” and “reasonably priced considering the neighbourhood”. As you might hope, there’s an “exceptional” list of vintages “across a wide range of price points” with “random treasures at reasonable prices”, delivered by “charming and engaged staff” who “can actually have a conversation about a given bottle”. “Can’t recommend it more highly!”
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).

Noble Rot Mayfair Restaurant Diner Reviews
"What a find! "
"We had a blow out dinner for a friend's birthday and it was really special. The food was exceptional, particularly the cuttlefish croquettes and the duck, which was meltingly tender and full of flavour. We ordered most of the desserts, which found a lovely balance between richness, sweetness, and not being too much. The lemon tart and chocolate pave were the standouts on that front, and the chef sent a plate of warm madeleines out at the end (potentially a nod to the progress we were making through the wine list). I was unsure whether the Mayfair branch would stack up to Soho but hugely enjoyed the meal. I have marked the ambiance down because we initially sat on the terrace, which was not particularly warm, comfy, or appealing, but the staff moved us to an indoor table when one became available. The interior has a lot of charm - it leans into an old London vibe without being stuffy or dull. "
"Top all round. Should I tell anyone...they deserve it"
"Fantastic experience for wine lovers. Really knowledgeable and interested team, happy to make suggestions and wanting to recommend good wines. The menu is great to share across the whole table. Hogget barnsley chop and salted butter and chocolate tart were the stars for me"
"solid generally - but ambiance (ground floor) was dire. However they have since written to customers to say they have done work to address the complaints about this they have received."
