I confess it took a recently awarded Michelin Star to lure us here and I can confirm the mixed reviews of this restaurant are entirely unfair. Whilst it doesn't have the intimacy of the Galvin Brothers first outing, Bistrot Deluxe, the setting and service are a pleasure, the latter no doubt enlivened by the recognition of the Inspectors.
The meal, which included Foie Gras, well sauced Venison and a rich Valrhona chocolate palet screamed luxury as did the pricing of the wine list which is, on ocassion, as elevated as the view from the 28th Floor of the Hilton Park Lane.
Perhaps we should expect no less given the Mayfair location.
A tarte tatin, creme fraiche and, given the sugar levels, rather superfluous caramel sauce was a simple but perfectly caramelised confection.
There is a rule that states that the higher you ascend the worse the food. If this does not ring true, think of the best airplane meal you have ever had. Galvin at Windows comprehensively refutes it allowing you to leave modesty aside, bag a window table after dark, join the West End Gliterati and indulge.
