As a birthday gift I was treated to lunch at The Ritz<\/a> by the other half of No Expert.\u00a0 We had some concerns as you do, when visiting somewhere so prestigious and potentially wallet busting. High profile venues like The Ritz all too often live off past glories. Fortunately this was not the case here, although there was no getting past the cost factor. The wine was very expensive.\u00a0 Don’t expect to find bottles at the \u00a330 mark,\u00a0 the lowest price is around \u00a350, but give it its due, the bottle of Marlborough Pinor Noir we ordered was delightful.\u00a0 We very sensibly chose on this occasion to go for the set lunch which consisted of three courses for \u00a345, rather than go a la carte, where you could pay the same price for a single course!<\/p>\n
