Been a couple of times now, and was consistently unimpressed. It is always hard to get a table - presumably because it's rammed with celeb spotters and celebs that don't know any better - so book in advance.

Service is good even when busy, and despite the well-heeled crowd the staff are not snooty. The wine list is comprehensive, but expensive. However, the food is what lets La Caprice down - overpriced and uninspiring. There are too many nondescript dishes for transatlantic visitors with no gastronomic sense of adventure, and even the more interesting choices are just not that special. You are paying for the kudos of eating there, not for quality - there are better, cheaper restaurants elsewhere.

All that said, we did see Alan Sugar on one visit and Peter Stringfellow on another.

Le Caprice is the sister restaurant to The Ivy and has a similar menu if not the same. My food was very memoriable......a fresh questy squid salad, really good and i am not easliy impressed! The main course was salmon fishcake with spinach & sorel sauce, this was rich, creamy and was mostly salmon. I was very satisified by it! The wine was nice too. The service was quick, not fussy and despite other people complaining that they felt rushed, I didn't feel this at all. The restaurant itself is relaxed, with a piano player and a jazzy kind of feel. I would recommend this place for a birthday or a special occasion with friends. Also lots of celebs go here so people do tend to look around a bit trying to spot someone famous but that all adds to the fun!
