The Capital Restaurant review by Stuart Finestone
My wife and I visit London at least annually and enjoy trying wonderful restaurants. Over the past 15 years, we have dined at The Capital four times, and returned again last week. While we appear to be in the minority, we were terribly dissappointed. The decor has been changed since our last visit and is not the lovely classical setting that we used to enjoy. It was also surprising that on a Saturday evening. many guests wore jeans, and only two of us wore jacket and tie. I may be old fashioed, but it just seems appropriate to dress a little for a two star Michelin restaurant. That said, I did not feel as though I dined in a two star restaurant. I had the lamb, which was served as three small medallions, two of which were so fatty that I could not cut or eat them. My wife had the same and her meat was fine. When the waiter removed the plate she must have noticed the uneatten chunks of fatty mass, but said nothing, nor did she ask if we enjoyed our meals. Contrary to another review concerning the sommelier, we ordered a wine at 85 GBP over which the sommelier seemed to sneer. The wine was not decanted and was poured heavily to avoid the need for return trips. This was a sad contrast to the prior visits which were so memorable.
