His overwhelming feeling? ‘Sadness, mostly.’ Not bad, just exorbitantly sad. Service may be lovely, but we leave perplexed. Kitty Fisher’s, just over the road, is twice as good, at half the cost. I know we’re in Mayfair, but there’s criminal, and then there’s locked up for life.

‘Comfort food,’ in Rowley’s words, ‘for spoilt deracinated children.’ Ouch.Īs for the prices. The room is annoying rather than endearing, and while the food is never actually disgusting, the good stuff (charcuterie, herring pearls) has more to do with sensible sourcing than any higher culinary power. In places you can actually exhale without upending the table. Are we missing something? There are better burgers, well, everywhere. We look around the room, at a markedly Middle Eastern crowd in ostentatiously expensive sunglasses, obsessively prodding their mobile phones, all seemingly in thrall to Ferdi. ‘And definitely a notch or two below Byron.’ ‘Hardly an improvement on Burger King,’ sighs Rowley. So what about these famed burgers, cooked rare and oozing lurid yellow cheese? They’re OK, I suppose. ‘I just don’t get the point,’ he says, with a weary wave of the hand. And although ‘herring pearls,’ a slick of salty, intense fish eggs, bring back the briefest of glimmers to his otherwise glazed-over eyes, the resurgence is brief.

Rowley is quickly losing interest, mild edible ennui moving to more serious dyspeptic depression. But again, at £12 it’s precipitously priced. Taramasalata (‘from Iceland’) is better, spread thick on toasted Poilâne bread. ‘Japanese-style’ jumbo shrimp are jumbo bores, no better than those you’d find in a supermarket freezer. Portions are huge, as they should be for £16 and £12 a pop.Ĭeviche, made with great chunks of bass, has loitered too long in a sharp, spicy marinade, obliterating any delicacy of fresh fish flavour, and giving it a pappy, cotton-wool texture.

The cured pig, that is, fatty, fiery chorizo, and chewy, sweetly porky lomo too. ‘Menu reads like it’s written by a stoned student,’ he growls, casting a seasoned eye over guacamole and nachos, Mexican beef enchiladas, fillets of salmon and tuna, chilli con carne, macaroni and cheese, meatballs, breaded jumbo shrimps, ham with mashed potatoes and various cuts of Spanish charcuterie.
