Friday, March 13, 2009 - Richard Corrigan is great at dining room rhetoric. Like Bentley’s, he has collaged a classy, clubby, man’s-man sanctuary served by sweetly inclined but occasionally inexperienced staff. Game for game, Corrigan’s appears to be struggling during the pause in shooting, however. Whilst everything was edible, and two dishes outstanding, slow cooked aspects suffered. And despite big talk, portions were small. Providing that the kitchen bothers a bit more with basics, I will gladly return.
Matthew Norman - 9.25/10
Saturday, January 10, 2009 - There is far more to a cracking restaurant, of course, than what its kitchen churns out, and by every criterion Corrigan's is a triumph. The service is magnificent, the pricing policy carefully calibrated for these challenging times (at £23.50 for three courses, with a 250ml carafe of wine chucked in, the set menu is a beauty), and the place is well designed to entice you to linger…game that dominates the menu. There is plenty of fish and no shortage of other meats, but as befits one who grew up poaching for the pot in bucolic Ireland, Corrigan is passionate about game and cooks it superbly.

A Girl Has To Eat - 5/10
Wednesday, June 02, 2010 - This meal probably rates as my most disappointing of 2010 so far. No, it wasn't all bad. I enjoyed the dessert, and when I overlook the cold corn puree, the scallop dish, albeit small and very pricey, was rather nice. But when you take into account how expensive the restaurant is, it's hard to forgive some of the very elemental errors that we experienced. This is a Richard Corrigan restaurant, a chef who held a star at Lindsay House, and this meal was below par for a chef of his calibre.
Dos Hermanos
Monday, November 10, 2008 - The room is great: very comfortable, lit just right and crucially, no music. Despite this being their first day of business (after a soft opening week) things appeared to be running as if they had been open for years. Always a good sign. Fortunately, the food’s terrific too. The menu had me groaning with pleasure – not a nice sound, believe me – but then you don’t see dishes like Game Broth with Livers on Toast or Fried Chorizo, Fennel and Apple or a Salad of Game with Romesco Sauce every day.
Food Snob
Friday, November 07, 2008 - Eleven courses (discounting petit fours, canapés and all the bread I ate) and I enjoyed it all. Never having eaten at Lindsay House or Bentley’s, I did not know what to expect from Corrigan’s food, but I was impressed with what I found. Dishes, simple, robust and gratifying in taste, were prepared and presented cleanly and without fuss. The emphasis was on the ingredients and getting the best out of them.
