What is the chef trying to achieve here. Whilst he is undoubtedly a skillful operator, the combinations of flavours and textures he applies to his dishes are well below par for a Michelin star chef. This guy is trying too hard and failing. Yes at first hit his flavours are OK, but when you get into your third or four mouthfuls, it starts to go all wrong. Too many things are going off to the point that you don’t get to taste the main ingredient. Your palette becomes confused. Mine said to me - what’s this baby food… come on lets go somewhere else. I had to agree with it. The Burlington is not cheap so you expect better. £80.00 - 90.00 per head is easily achieved with wine. Don’t get me wrong, service, setting etc is good, and most will not be disappointed. It all depends on what experiences you have had in the past. In my opinion you can enjoy a better dining experience elsewhere in this part of the world.
