THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Turner's Restaurant Review:

Located at the Brompton Cross end of Walton Street, the room manages to be both formal and intimate, done in pale yellow and blue with subdued cloth covering the seats and comfortable banquettes. While many restaurants seem satisfied to compose dishes on the plate, Brian Turner’s pedigree of hotel and fine dining shows through in well-worked and complex dishes---an intense foie gras terrine, for example, alongside a crab salad infused with herbs and possibly spices. Meat is a strong point, particularly offal, but not to the detriment of fish, which might be perfectly cooked turbot in an accurately reduced sauce, or monkish, roasted and served with garlic and a medley of perfectly turned root vegetables. Meat, however, remains a passion, whether it is pink and juicy veal kidneys or a rack of lamb with haricots. Desserts show serious pastry work, as in almond tart---nutty and crunchy---while anyone undecided might opt for the selection, which is a worthwhile tour. Wines reward expenditure, with France getting particularly good coverage. Set 3-course lunch £17.50; 3-course dinner £29.50.
