I was there at the same time, left just after 1300. Sat on the high table at the bar end. You weren't in a purple polo shirt were you?

Quick heads up, given it's that time of the year, there's a strict new dress code on force until Sunday.
Will post pics later.

this is a (rather attractive) model displaying the dress code that applies until Sunday.
Ann is very clear that if you don't look the part, you aint coming in!

I really love the scallops, but I'd like them served with a little more pea puree. The ox cheek is delicious. Very tender and tasty, but I think it needs a little more sauce with it. The serving is very sparse. I agree that the bread and butter budding is absolutely delicious! I tried the red Thai curry on Friday and enjoyed it so much that I had to have a second portion 
I think this is the best menu we've had in the CCR for a long while and, for the first time, I'd actually rate it ahead of the JFK menu. While I loved the lobster bisque they have there at the moment (so much that I had to order a second bowl!), I found the lamb dish to be under seasoned and somewhat tasteless and the dessert, a deconstructed cheese cake, with no real point to the 'deconstruction' was disappointing. It seems to be fashionable these days, but unless it adds something special to the dish, stick with the original!
