The question is: Do you walk away hungry?

Yes.

If you do, then you didn't order enough food.

To be frank, the food looks good but a bit fiddly, £230 for two people is way too expensive.

I consider it too much effort. My expectations are good tasting food, well presented. The best a chef can do - to me - should be about how the food tastes. I agree absolutely that the taste, ingredients, texture should be the pinnacle of what they can be, but when I get food presented to me like this (and I've eaten at plenty of Michelin starred restaurant) it turns me off.

As I said, its just not my cup of tea and I don't like it. I doubt my opinion is shared by many.

How about, when you get an incredible looking plate that the chef has spent a lot of time into producing, you just mess everything up and pretend he's just chucked it together without any thought?

Joel Robuchon has more Michelin stars than any other chef.

He has a string of restaurants serving top notch food. For that sort of calibre £227 is nothing.

A bit... fiddly? I'm confused, it's simple enough to eat if that's what you're worried about?

It's fine. The restaurant is open 'till late and in a very lively area. It was busy!
