The Grill Description:
If you haven't seen the restaurant, then you are in for either a shock or a wow moment as the room is high Scottish baronial with a touch of grand whimsy. Reds and greens and tartans dominate, along with huge murals of heroically posturing Scots. Even the chairs are covered in tartan while red banquettes add a louche air. But try not to be distracted as both the cooking and the ingredients are firmly native and top quality. The ingredients should be good---a third of the produce comes from Audley End Organic Kitchen Garden in Essex, which uses old seed varieties. You'll get the very best game in season, venison, fish like Cornish turbot and roast beef. Desserts range from stalwarts like bread and butter pudding to prune and Armagnac ice cream. Service is enthusiastic and not pompous yet efficient to the point of invisibility. The wine list is topnotch, though mostly stratospherically priced. The set price meals have come down in price; à la carte remains expensive, but then this is a top London hotel. Set lunch and early evening menus, 2 courses £25, 3 courses £27.50; Sunday lunch £35.
