Won ' t be back in a hurry & it won't be to stay anyway . Much better options including The Connaught , The Halkin , etc , perhaps even some clubs .
Enjoyed our meal at Espelette , The Connaught , loved the lamb & steak - as suggested by MacMyDay , thanks

Pleased to have helped and glad you enjoyed it.
I've too have stayed at The Ritz and your views echo my own. I went about 3 years ago and haven't been back since.
