Nobu Berkeley (Restaurant)
03 May 2007

Food is obviously great. Cocktails are not as good as at the original Nobu. The staff are lovely but quite a few mistakes were made. Completely different restaurant in terms of atmosphere, decor, etc. This one is a much more social destination with focus on a more lively crowd. Not necessarily better but depends what you are looking for. Park Lane is more muted, where this one is more obvious.

Le Pain Quotidien (Baker / Cafe)

I've been to the High Steet Ken branch numerous times and although the food never fails to disappoint, the service always does. It's invariably slow, sporadic and inattentive. Even though the food is good enough to make me go back, they should attempt to address this other aspect, since with good service my rating would be a 5.

High Road Brasserie (Restaurant)

Fabulous food, great service. I am very fussy and they did everything possible to accommodate me without making it seem like a chore. Atmosphere great even though we were not on a great table. Another fine example that Nick Jones really knows his stuff.
