Perhaps you are thinking of J. Sheekey just off Leicester Square? I was impressed with J. Sheekey but thoroughly underwhelmed by the Ivy.

I will also add Vongs Thai Kitchen in Chicago and DB Bistro Moderne at Wynn in Las Vegas to my list of overrated.
Yes, J. Sheekey. Thanks for that. The best Dover sole that I have ever had, absolutely sublime. I was a bit unclear about the Ivy. I certainly wouldnt compare it to St. John, or for that matter Chutney Mary or even Wodka. But compared to Rules, well yes.
