A group of us arranged to have lunch at the Ritz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"P101009_13.06\"<\/a>They have a very reasonably priced set lunch menu and a comprehensive wine list that includes several “less” expensive bottles of wine (i.e., under \u00a330).<\/p>\n

We\u00a0had the best table in the restaurant, (top right corner) as it afforded a view of the stunning room and the garden area. The restaurant is a “stickler” for the Jacket and Tie rule (they will supply ties if necessary), as is the Rivoli Bar. The bar\u00a0I was not so impressed with,\u00a0the\u00a0decor in particular is very garish.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

The restaurant in the Ritz has 2 AA Rosettes, which sounds about right.<\/p>\n

Marks out of 10<\/p>\n

Food 6.5<\/p>\n

Service 8<\/p>\n

Ambience (in the restaurant) 8, (in the bar) 4<\/p>\n

UPDATE December 2011 – The prices have gone up since this visit and the food has really improved, see post<\/p>\n
