New to the hotel, the restaurant fits like a glove. These refined dishes are joined by elegant modernisations of vintage plates; a black truffle crumpet and a baked Alaska to share for example. The baked Alaska, as exquisite looking as it was, turned out to be a controversial dish. Perhaps this baked Alaska won’t appeal to the puritanical eaters out there, although it doesn’t sound like tradition is anything to hold onto in this instance. This baked Alaska was a sharp, palette cleansing, lemony sorbet encased in a ripple of meringue flambeed at the table so that the casing tasted like campfire-burnt marshmallow.
