Had lunch at The Capital on a dreary Saturday in January - what better way to raise the spirits. Les

My husband and I had dinner. After a fairly tasteless starter of scallops we had ordered lamb and rabbit. Portions were tiny,my husband's taos new mexico lodging rabbit was salty and the accompanying squid was rubbery. My lamb was tasteless and overcooked.
What a delight to see a 'proper' french restaurant in London...I went to The Capital with all the family, with my parents being French we do tend to be extremely critical of what London has to offer however on this occasion we would really have been hard pushed to find something...everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming taos new mexico lodging which is great, we really don't like the sort of places where you feel like you are on show and your waiter is so blooming nervous he's shaking as he pours your water...you know the type!
The decor was welcoming but not overpowering and the main feature is definitely the food, wine and the service team...which is how it should be! There was a great Frenchie feel throughout the evening with the Restuarant Manager Christophe being 'la pièce de résistance' a real character and so nice to see someone with a little personality showing that a restaurant can be well managed without being stiff...
My parents returned to France hoping that one day it will possible to find this quality of food more readily available over there and until then I guess we will just have to go back to The Capital for our fix...oh well what a shame, its a hard life but someone has to do it!
What a disappointment! Had dinner taos new mexico lodging here and sent both courses back. Starter of scallops just tasted like cucumber and the scallops certainly were not fresh. Main course of rabbit was very salty with overcooked squid. Wine was fab but went home hungry after paying a serious amount of money. Pokey dining room with no atmosphere. Two Michelin stars? Not in my book!
Had lunch at The Capital on a dreary Saturday in January - what better way to raise the spirits. Less than £30.00 for Michelin starred fabulous food. How do they do it? A tortelloni of langoustine as an amuse-bouche, then a carpaccio of smoked haddock taos new mexico lodging with lightly boiled quails eggs.
An assiette of pork followed, then cheese and a mint parfait. Hand made chocolates with the coffee made me wish I'd eaten less so I could have had more. The service at The Cardinal could be a bit more smiley, but it is efficient and sleek neverthless. Overall I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
The Capital is still amazing. My friends said it was good though although the wine list took some looking at as it was huge. Which is a good thing and the staff did offer to help but we had a wine buff with us. I will go back again soon, as the service at The Capital was great! It is in the perfect shopping location too.
