Hip, lighthearted, and sought after by the quasi-celebrities of London's world of media and entertainment, this bar and brasserie was established in 2000 by the owners of two of the city's most desirable private clubs, Woody's and The Groucho Club. Both of these are membership-only venues in other parts of town. At the tables near you at this spin-off restaurant (not a members-only spot), you're likely to see members of those clubs plus celebs like Jerry Hall, Kate Moss, cookbook author Nigella Lawson, pop singer Kylie Minogue, and writers from such publications as British Vogue and Tatler. The setting was originally conceived as a milk-bottling plant, but since a team of decorators revamped it, it evokes an arts-conscious Manhattan bistro with a neo-industrial decor, exposed air ducts, and a busy kitchen that's open to view. Chefs here place an emphasis on organic produce, preparing dishes that include French onion soup, marinated mussels, rémoulade of celeriac, roasted rib of beef served with béarnaise and french fries and prepared only for two diners sharing the meal, and roasted duck with mashed potatoes and black-peppercorn sauce. Grilled squid, braised lamb shank, well-seasoned fish cakes, and a smoked haddock salad are some of the other delectable offerings.
