I still like the experience of the chef's menu here and the pacing is absolutely perfect. On my list for our trip to London later this year.
Sounds like we should have a smaller lunch and go for the tasting menu. I don't think the National Gallery's restaurant is going to compare.
Wine pairings are way too much wine for us. We usually go for a glass or two instead.
