I
have been trying to get in for ages and I finally managed it. It was
most definitely worth the wait. What he can do with cauliflower puree
or basil ice cream defies description and then there is the risotto, it
is simply the best. All the staff are highly competent, very helpful
and friendly, even Mr. Ramsay himself ask how the food was, my reply
was rather incoherent, what do you say when confronted with a god and
your mouth has just been full of the best things it ever had ! Do
anything to get in, sell your grandmother, its worth it.
