100 Wardour Take 2

This is my second visit to this gorgeous venue. It's inviting bar, decadent cocktails and ambience sets you up for a great evening.

Starting at the bar and feeling adventurous we opt for the voyager. A heady mix of cachaca, coconut rum, lime, vanilla and Proseccco. (@£6 during happy hour)  Wow! Stunning presentation and sublime taste, credit goes to the creator of this decadent cocktail. 

We are soon whisked downstairs to its elegant, grown up dining space. A warm welcome by the first of our waiters, Alessandro. Soon I am quaffing a glass of Chandon whilst pawing over the set dinner menu a bargain at £30 including the glass of fizz. 

A second warm friendly welcome by the ever so charming Bakary who comes to take our wine order and recommends the most beautiful Portuguese red, Plansel Selecta 2013 (£29) with its floral notes, full wild berry body with a hint of spice. 

When it comes to excellence in service Bakary takes gold, a man so passionate about his craft but more importantly his focus was ensuring that we had an amazing evening. Attentive and engaging service throughout without being intrusive. 

The food here is great, our starter of 

Pork belly skewers, salsa verde go down a treat. 

Next up where the mains, Toms garlic chicken, confit peppers and tarragon looked, smelt and tasted amazing and left me feeling envious. 

My steamed fillet of seabass with burnt fennel yoghurt and harissa crushed potatoes whilst very tasty left me with buyers regret as the fish portion felt very stingy in comparison to Toms whole chicken. 

We move on swiftly to a decadent dessert of salt caramel parfait, chocolate ganache and peanut ice cream. Exceptional flavour combinations, simple plating and a pleasant finish to a wonderful evening. 

But the night doesn't end there, the ever attentive Bakary upon overhearing that it was my birthday, pops round with a candle lit scoop of ice cream with the words happy birthday artistically scrawled on he plate. A thoughtful touch that made the evening that little bit more special.

This place also gets my vote for Londons best smelling and looking washrooms ( having said that, I am still waiting for the manager to replace one handwash with hand cream) 

It's the little touches, excellent, friendly, attentive service, live music, ambience and great food that's makes this place a must visit.
