Scott's

This restaurant is the newly refurbished sister to the perennial celebrity favourite, J Sheekey and the similarities are obvious from the fish-biased menu and the luxurious brown and wood theme to the decor. In some respects this restaurant is an improvement on Sheekey's as the overall space is less cramped, brighter and it has a great bar situated prominently in the centre of the room. As you would expect, the lunchtime clientle is predominately well-groomed Mayfair (probably a favourite of the locally-based hedge-fund managers already) and it attracts a smattering of celebrities.

I've eaten their twice the first time was a relaxed Saturday lunch where service was excellent and unobtrusive and the Dover Sole was probably the best I've eaten in town. More recently I was there on a weekday lunch and the place was packed unfortunately the staff seemed unable to cope with the rush and we ended up waiting for an hour between ordering and our first course. However, the food was still first rate (the morelle risotto was fantastic) and the manager was apologetic and comp'd us our coffee and deserts.

The fact that some of the tables are quite close together also caused a bit of a problem.

If you're feeling flush or have a generous expense budget (the place is not cheap) this place is worth a visit.
