Sad - This place is now closed - the fish and chips was great but… too expensive. maybe it is time to see the “credit crunch” version with as much taste but less £££

I first heard about Tom’s Kitchen in Conde Naste Traveler when they named it one of the best new restaurants in London. We checked with our ex-Pat friend and she agreed that it was a great spot so we decided to give it a shot our first night in town.

Let me just say that Tom’s Kitchen set the bar high for the rest of our dinners in London. Everything was fantastic but the clear winner was my fish and chips. I didn’t bother getting fish and chips anywhere else during our stay because I just knew that I’d only be disappointed after the fantastic version I had at Tom’s Kitchen.

With such a friendly, efficient staff, lively dining scene and fantastic food, I can’t recommend Tom’s Kitchen enough.

Went with daughter's friend who had worked there and were welcomed and given the star table (in the window, behind the coats where people can't easily see you, as opposed to the celeb tables where everyone can gawp at you to your heart's content) and had a pretty flawless evening. Good manhattans and cosmos (for the daughter) and a decent coupe for me followed by fois gras with eggs and bacon - amazingly delicious! We had to order bread - ok and baked on the premesis - to soak up the juices, pointing to the fact that you don't automatically get it when you sit down. I suspect that reflects its high quota of slender young things who try not to nibble....). The restaurant is strong on meats of the heartier variety and the party had roast belly of pork, which was just that - very tasty with plenty of crackling. My lemon sole was a disappointment - rather small and undistinguished, but they usually are so it was my poor choice. Daughter had a beautiful birthday dessert without the awful knot of waiters singing tunelessly but calvados was third-rate and only good for cooking. We had a fine Australian pinot noir from the short list and the whole meal ran out at about £6o a head....not bad for a noisy brasserie!

Tom Aiken's chose wisely when decided to open a restaurant;instead of going for a gastro-pub type thinghe chose the Brasserie style of eating. Having eaten there I can only describe it as being a trendy place to eat and worth every penny.It has soaring ceilings and some very neutral painted walls.There are plain laid tables only inches apart,which is not a good idea because other diners could overhear your conversation and the decibel levels can be so high at peak times,I found myself shouting to be heard.
But the food was really worth it because its French cooking at its best-infact I would describe it as being inspirationally tasty.
The Celeriac Remould was good to eat made with Bayonne Ham,Bouillabaise,accompanied by a rack of roast Lamb with a herb crust. It was prepared with care and exceeded all expectations. Simple things like Sour-dough bread,Leeks with Black Truffles,Lentils,Parmesan cheese were cooked to perfection.My friend had the a really seriously good buttery mash a spit-roast chicken with ceps and a side dish of Savoy Bacon made with smoked bacon-proving to be a brilliant combination. To round it all off with grand retro finish we indulged in a Baked Alaska for two. Good house wine starting at 13.00 pound a bottle.
