The stuff I ate may not have been great but the menu does look good.<br /><br />@Niamh - Be good to hear your thoughts when you check it out.<br /><br />@HW and @AIL - Agreed. A few issues with the burger, but there were other choices on the prix fixe too. A story of bad choices I think, not to rule out straight away.<br /><br />@GG - Ha! It doesn't make me happy to grumble. I would much rather it was amazing ;)<br /><br />@GD - I look forward to reading up your thoughts on the experience.tehbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593283607297429793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-34798712834610212572010-05-14T10:02:03.563+01:002010-05-14T10:02:03.563+01:00I think GBP 20 is not good "value" if th...I think GBP 20 is not good "value" if the food is so-so, don't you? <br /><br />There's no reason to expect that Daniel Boulud can make a good burger (I'm not saying it's impossible that he makes a good burger, but just that I have no reason to expect him to do so). It's not as if he's built his reputation on burgers. His flagship, Daniel (which was excellent the one time I ate there) serves haute cuisine, and I don't recall anything remotely burger or chip-like on the menu there.An American in Londonhttp://rwapplewannabe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-30718975390967218092010-05-11T21:23:00.871+01:002010-05-11T21:23:00.871+01:00Agree with Emyr, it's the first negative I'...Agree with Emyr, it's the first negative I've seen... join the grumbling ranks! <br /><br />As always, well written and considered.

That burger certainly does sound cacophonous, particularly the Morbier which strikes me as being a very odd choice of cheese for a burger (perhaps DB thinks Europeans expect ash with everything at the moment?)<br /><br />That said, there's no arguing with £20 for 3 courses even if the pud was a turkey, and the soup/salad sounds amazing. <br /><br />Let me know when you're working again (as you surely will be soon) and we'll go for a proper blow out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948980890459312618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-92111005889502702192010-05-11T12:03:26.351+01:002010-05-11T12:03:26.351+01:00Shame but my interest in piqued, and the soup soun...Shame but my interest in piqued, and the soup sounds wonderful.Niamhhttp://www.eatlikeagirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786917785571459431.post-16806396073171876952010-05-10T23:52:44.615+01:002010-05-10T23:52:44.615+01:00This is the first review I've read that hasn&#...This is the first review I've read that hasn't been glowing - really looking forward to making my own mind up in a couple of weeks.Emyr Thomas, Bon Vivanthttp://www.bonvivant.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
