Harden's says
Richard Caring has opened his most spectacular and decadent restaurant yet. This new place just off Berkeley Square, in the former Porsche showroom corner site, channels the atmosphere of Ancient Greece and Rome, and promises to make his Sexy Fish, a near-neighbour, look like a vicarage tea party.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“A complete circus!” – Richard Caring jovially sticks two fingers up to good taste at his willfully opulent and theatrical riff on Mayfair-meets-Roman-orgy, where staff are clad in togas, and winged statues and nymphs flying around in the ceiling murals look down on you as you eat. Compared to the “OTT” riot of the decor, it’s easy to overlook the luxurious menu, which is Italian- and Greek-accented, with a bit of caviar thrown in for good measure. There’s the odd report of “appalling service” (“trying to hurry us to meet their deadline”) or dishes that misfire badly, but savage put-downs are absent from reports; even while acknowledging that it is “crazily expensive” and “full of selfie takers” (obvs!).
Summary
Richard Caring has outlined plans for his most spectacular and decadent restaurant yet. This former Porsche garage in Berkeley Square will channel the atmosphere of Ancient Greece and Rome, alongside suitably Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and promises to make his glitzily glam Sexy Fish, a near-neighbour, look like a vicarage tea party.

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).
