Belvedere

Saturday, July 31, 2010 - The food was good but a little short on dressing. As though to make up for it - as though the chef had overheard us (and the irascible Marco Pierre White, who used to co-own the place, still acts as consultant here) - all the main courses arrived fairly drenched in sauce, or jus or gravy. Four plates glistened with identical shiny brown puddles...There's something disappointing about the Belvedere at present. It's one of the most beautiful restaurant interiors in London, but it doesn't feel friendly or romantic.
