Tom Aikens

As usual Tom Aikens did not disappoint, still the best value in London.

The £23 for two courses is great and you can skip desert as long as you have a coffee you'll get great petit fours, yummy.

Tom Aikens was a culinary delight. The salmon with sorrel and lemon grass was exquisite - probably one of the best fish dishes I have ever eaten. The pollock was cooked to perfection. I have never experienced such different combinations of taste in so many dishes. They all worked beautifully. I wasn't so keen on the dessert of rhubarb (which was too hard) with a covering of aspic/jelly and mint. Small quibble, the £17 house wine was not available, cheapest was £30. Petit fours were huge..

Tom Aikens restaurant was an excellent experience. We booked under a £32 toptable set-menu offer and were kind of expecting a small table in the corner and a couple of dishes that were left over from the a la carte menu. We ended up receiving about 6 dishes, all exquisitely presented and tasting great - really creative dishes. The service was also superb, and we were treated like kings. Total bill for two including wine came to £120. Absolute bargain and truly exceptional experience.
