    Brasserie Blanc - Cheese soufflé with Cheddar sauce

    This place came recommended from good friends. It was not too crowded for a Monday evening…read more The burrata was amazing! And the Cheese Soufflé! I don't go for total cheesy food items so was unsure. Holy hell that was one of the most incredible foods in a long time. I ordered the Sirloin and it was average. Too thin a cut and a little chewy. The rest of the entrees looking good - fillet, pork, and fish - and my friends raved about them. The food was very reasonably priced. And while the wine on the menu was affordable, Mondays are BYOB with free corking.

    This place is on the river so the location is good…read more They run what looked like a good price point two or three course set menu on weekdays, so we went in on Tuesday evening to try it out as a budget meal option, for research purposes... but, sadly, were fairly disappointed. First course salads were good but mains were really poorly put together, ingredients not fresh, and portions small. Worthy of note: On one of the dishes they ran out of the side, so offered us a choice, we said that the chef should decide, but unfortunately what they chose wasn't to our liking, so we asked for green beans to fix it, and to our surprise, were charged for it! Asked to remove the charge when the bill came, and it was done, however the manager was visibly "peeved" at the request. This is normal in other countries, and at their location in the new Fulham Reach development they are serving international clientele, so perhaps attitude adjustment is in order? Puddings were not worth even the reduced set menu prices, and one was particularly bad where cold canned pears were used. Seriously??? Why even bother having the set menu, not sure. It needs to be really good to bring people back, not make them stay away...strange... Staff is nice and welcoming. Dog friendly section is a big plus. We may give it another try in the future and order from the regular menu, to see if it is better than a budget option. Sadly, absolutely do not recommend the set menu though.

    I can only speak for the cocktails but seriously....isn't that REALLY what matters?…read more I have such hard cocktail boners for this place. Seeing as my husband is a mixologist, it sort of ruined cocktails for me. I know better now. And Charlotte's drinks make me swooooon. Not only does the bar staff have a direct hand in sourcing and selecting all their spirits, but they also write their own cocktail menu (updated every month) and even create some of their ingredients in house...including their bloody mary mix. YES. My hubs fell in love with their Illegal Negroni. I had the One Nest for Two and the English Country Garden. If you don't see something you like, their bartenders will make something up. A true cocktail lovers bar. And with its laid back, candle-lit vibe and chill music, it's definitely a few notches cooler than any spot on the high road.

    Honestly the only place to go in west london.. Perfect for pretty much any occasion - cocktails…read morewith the girls, a family Sunday roast, a first date, a birthday.. Amazing food and cocktails.. The menu changes on a fairly regular basis to reflect seasonal produce but pretty much every dish I have tried here has been amazing. Also: Make sure to try out their Gin school on a Monday night as well, they have the gin distillers introducing you to the ingredients and distilling process of their brand while you enjoy a complimentary G&T or gin martini!! What's not to like!!

    Classis French bistro style ambiance with a nice casual feel and mixed menu…read more This was our first stop after arriving in London from an overseas flight. We were able to grab a reservation for an early dinner the same day. They had the front door/windows open so it feels as if you're dining al fresco, but still inside the restaurant. I was hungry and ordered the steak and fries. The steak came with a pat of herb butter. You can only choose med-rare or well-done. So of course, it was med-rare for me. It was delicious with fantastic flavor, enhanced with the melting herb butter. The fries were crisp and delicious. I don't know what type of sauce came with my steak on the side, but I ended up dipping my fries in them, and it made it a different experience. Thankfully I had room for dessert, so my wife and I split the Birthday Dessert Box. No it wasn't anyone's birthday, but the menu describes this as a golden chocolate orb with vanilla ice cream, honeycomb, chocolate strands, freeze-dried raspberries, gold flakes (didn't notice these), and the server pours hot salted caramel sauce on top when it arrives. This was divine! What a great way to end a fantastic dinner.

    As a near neighbour, I stop in from time to time with guests for a special night out. Pricey, sort…read moreof, but the food is good, although not precisely adventuresome, but always ample. However, the young lady who has been the hostess of late has people skills that are almost repellent, at least so far as they have applied to me. Last night, a special night to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of one of my best friends, was marred by her giving us a crap table. When I asked for something a bit better and indicating that in my booking I had requested a booth, she responded snootily that booths are kept available for walk-in VIP's. If I owned the place, I would have fired her on the spot for making a remark like that. So, for those of you who are not VIP's, and I expect a few of you might not be, be prepared to sit where you're relegated and not where you'd prefer.
