1901 @ Andaz (formerly Aurora) review by Tom
After reading mixed reviews, expectations were not set to impossible levels - but they were clearly exceeded in every department.
From the top: the setting is excellent, with great deco & plenty of space between tables to allow private conversation. Service was discrete, with waiting staff appearing and disappearing as needed.
The menu was the first I have seen - ever - where I would eat anything off it.
All three courses were very well put together: they had the depth of flavour and character expected of a quality establishment. Amuse bouches were apposite and welcome additions, complimenting the meal to ensure a full gastonomic experience with the desire to return and try more from the menu.
The wine suggested by the sommelier was excellent (which it should have been at the price), as was the port that followed.
Both my guests were more than happy with the experience: I picked up the bill, though, so I'll just say it was value for money. But that's a lot of value...
