Exactly how I expected
July 14, 2009
On the website for Gordon Ramsay's Foxtrot Oscar it describes it as offering simple, classic dishes. It is, a bistro, not a Michelin starred restaurant.
So, once you get your head round that, everything else makes sense.
It's a nice bistro: great, attentive service, nicely presented unpretentious food at a reasonable price.
I went there on Saturday evening, had 3 courses: crab on toast, lobster pie and creme brule. My companion had mozarella salad, daurade (a kind of sea bream I think) and strawberry tarte.
It was just tasty, substantial food coming to about £90 for the two of us including wine and coffee. So all in all, a good result.
I'm not sure about the previous comment about service. There were no mistakes, they were very charming and checked that we were happy with everything. I couldn't fault it.
I would definitely go back again. It's just the sort of thing for something a bit more interesting than going to your local pub bistro, but without the formality and expense of a super-posh restuarant.
