Let’s give a round of applause for the supporting cast. The truffle mac and cheese is a sin. A glorious, decadent, carb-loaded sin. It’s so creamy it should come with a warning label. Then there’s the roasted bone marrow—yes, they serve you a bone. You scoop out the buttery, rich fat and spread it on toast. It’s like a high-five for your mouth.
We also had the Caesar salad (hey, we needed something green to balance out all the cow). But even that was epic. The dressing was tangy, the croutons were crunchy, and it came with a whole anchovy staring at me. I named him Kevin and ate him anyway. Sorry, Kevin.
The desserts? Don’t even get me started. The chocolate fondant is a hot, molten masterpiece. It breaks open and oozes dark, rich lava that makes you forget about the price of the meal. For about ten seconds, you forget you’re in Mayfair and you’re just a happy blob of sugar.

A Few “Need to Knows” Before You Go
First—book a table. This place isn’t a secret, and walking in hoping for a seat is like walking into a Beyoncé concert and hoping for a front row spot. Second, dress up a little. You don’t need a tux, but maybe leave the sweatpants at home. The vibe is smart-casual, which is code for “no Crocs, please.”
Also, bring your appetite. Portions are generous. Don’t fill up on the bread basket—it’s a trap. Pace yourself like a marathon runner, but replace water with red wine. Lastly, go with a group of friends. This is the kind of meal you want to share (or argue over who gets the last slice of steak).
