    I came here for a friend's birthday a couple of days ago and I have nothing but praise for this restaurant as the service was second to none and most importantly the food was gourmet all the way through. The staff were incredibly friendly and they allowed me to accommodate a birthday cake (note that they do charge £2/person but it's free if you order an iced cream at approximately £2.80) - extra points for providing the birthday candles although they cut the cake when I specifically asked them not to. Despite this, the manager apologized and admitted that he didn't know why the cake was cut. Still, the surprise was executed to the plan for which I thank the management for. We ordered a collection of dishes to share, each were cooked and prepared to perfection. These included: Starters: 1. MIDOLLO ARROSTO (roast marrowbone served with mirto salt and crostini) 2. TARTARE CON BOTTARGA (chopped beef tartare with grated bottarga and a touch of chilli) Mains: 1. BISTECCA DI MANZO CON L'OSSO AI FERRI (chargrilled T-bone steak served with homemade chips) 2. PORCEDDU (slow roasted 'Sardinian style' suckling pig with roast potatoes) 3. GNOCCHI AL TARTUFO (mascarpone and ricotta gnocchi sautéed with courgettes and black truffle shavings) It was actually my first time eating a Steak tartare and the experience has been mixed. Whilst I have to admit I didn't enjoy it as I hoped I would I can't fault it for what it is. I think next time, Ill be sticking with a cooked steak. On that note, although we were sharing the dishes, I was surprised that they didn't ask us how we would like our steak. As it turns, it came out perfectly medium anyway, which is just how I prefer my steaks to be cooked. The food was all delicious but I think I enjoyed the suckling pork most. If you've not tried bone marrow before, I'd also highly recommend it - so fattening oily it's goooooood. Most likely, I'll be coming back when I can.

    Looking for lunch in Elizabeth St in the hottest day of the year so far, Oliveto was full - so we walked a few doors down to Olivocarne to which I had not been since its opening, tending to prefer ( (as I thought) lighter food. It was cool and peaceful and relatively uncrowded - which now surprises me as it was absolutely superb in an understated way and proved the ideal place to relax before a difficult appointment. The maître 'd and his staff were charmingly attentive and we settled easily into glasses of the excellent Sardinian house white and their perfect breads (in common with all the Olivo restaurants). The menu too was a surprise as the prix fixe offering had an excellent vegetable selection, so my fear of being met by wall-to-wall boar were ill- founded and my companions delighted. We did have the prix fixe Sardinian ham and fig and it was absolutely delicious (see pic) but we also managed an unusual mushroom carpaccio dish that was said to be a favourite of Julius Caesar (see pic) and was again delicious and extremely light. We all had the same pasta main course - trenette - which unusually included potato but was also full of pesto, beans and pine nuts and was likewise delicious. The food was made the more perfect by the quality of the olive oil that coated the inside of one's mouth with a sumptuous glaze. A wonderful meal that was perfectly light and fresh on a day when 34c was being recorded outside.

    Lovely in season asparagus with poached eggs, butter, Parmesan cheese and white truffles.

    The food is mediocre. Portions very small. Service was terrible. Never got the wine we ordered. Try something else.

We came for Saturday breakfast since we were planning to be in Knightsbridge for the afternoon. We ordered their black truffled scrambled eggs on toast, crushed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs, and the ripe honey mango w/Thai basil & kaffir lime and some pastries. The black truffled eggs were good especially with the entire surface covered in black truffles, but to me the toast was a bit dry and the creamy eggs weren't enough to overcome the dryness in the toast. The star of the meal was the honey ripe mango. It was perfectly ripe with the hint of basil and kaffir lime in each bite. The presentation was simply beautiful. The decor and ambience is casual but at the same time elegant. There are elegant details everywhere starting at the entrance door and throughout the restaurant - the table top, the metal stamped H, I, D or E letters imbedded randomly on the edge of the tables, to the hearth where their pastries and bread are baked and showcased, and the opaque glassed kitchen above the main dining area where you see outlines of the staff working. Breakfast at HIDE was a pleasant and memorable dining experience. Will try dinner service next time. HIDE is located across from Green Park, not far from Buckingham Palace, and not too far from Knightsbridge. It's an ideal location when in the area.

Because of this, I'm always looking to try new places for wine. We happened to finish up our shopping on Jermyn street, and Fortnum and Mason were around the corner so we stopped in for something to relax. First, it is inside Fortnum and Mason and it's downstairs. So you must traverse through all the goodies to get to the place. It's not huge, but it is a nice place. They do wines by the bottle, glass or, if you're feeling super experimental, by the flight. I'm a huge fan of wine flights, and we opted for the champagne of the month flight. It was three glasses from their featured bubbly. And they were all good. The service can be a bit slow at times, but it's impeccable. They really go above and beyond when they make a mistake or there is a problem! There was a slight problem with our bill (the price of the flights were £3 too high), and while it took them awhile to get it sorted, they made sure we were completely happy before we left. (A little extra bubbly on the house? Don't mind if I do!) If I'm in the area, I'll be back. It's a bit pricier than other places, but it's nice to have a variety.

It was a Sunday afternoon, and were surprised how easily we were about to find seats even though it was packed like sardines upstairs. We started drooling over the cheese cart, so we ordered the selection of 3 for £12 (2 for £8, 5 for £15) and it came with a wonderful mix of crackers (or biscuits as you Brits call it) and bread. Definitely come here after a day of shopping in the area.
