Orrery review by Kev
I ate here with some friends at the end of June 2007.
I had high hopes. The atmosphere was lacking - more like the restaurant of a decent hotel booked up by sneior busines types than a characterful restaurant. It is over-lit, and the furniture has the suprisingly tacky feel that I'd encountered at Bibendum (also over-lit and lacking in atmosphere as it happens).
The service was excellent. Our table was more lively than the quiet tables of oreintal business suits surrounding us, and the staff took this well in their stride.
The food was good (almost very good) but certainly not excellent. Overpriced therefore.
The sommelier was attentive and helpful. The wine was good and not too ludicrously expensive.
The cigar bar was in its last gasp before the ban bit. A great shame because this is a lovely little room, well suited to the indulgence of cigars and brandy after dinner.
I wouldn't rush back.
