Berners Tavern (Fitzrovia)

• The London EDITION is a collaboration between Ian Schrager and the Marriott chain of hotels
• The partnership of the two was intended to combine the intimate and unique design skills of Schrager with the scale of the Marriott
• Stately columns and colour pops gave the hotel a traditional yet modern feel which was also far removed from the other Schrager designed London hotels
• Jason Atherton is at the helm of the Berners Tavern
• Mr Atherton is certainly the man of the moment in London
• The Berners Tavern dining room was absolutely stunning
• Perhaps one of the best I've seen in London
• The look of the dining room is a beautiful juxtaposition of old against modern
• One of the most stunning features of the room is the ceiling
• A high vaulted roof with beautiful hanging chandeliers
• The room felt alive and vibrant and there was a view into the busy kitchen
• Atherton makes use of the the very best produce that Britain has to offer
• The bread placed on the table was fresh from the oven
• My starter was Orkney scallop ceviche
• The plate of food was a pretty picture and I love the way that Atherton played with the textures
• The crunch of the baby gem with the soft scallop and the silky avocado
• The best bit was the quenelle of lime sorbet in the centre which was gorgeously refreshing
• I thought it could do with a touch more citrus flavour
• My mum thought there was too much citrus
• Her starter was beetroot cured Luch Duart Salmon with beetroot horseradish and watercress
• Another beautiful plate with perfectly cured pink salmon and not too sweet beetroots
• A little beetroot jam on the side was a lovely accompaniment
• The Berners Tavern version was light and buttery
• The creamy risotto was gorgeous and faintly cheesy
• The surroundings gorgeous with an atmosphere that was not overly formal or pretentious
• The blue cheese salad was yummy but very heavy and the burger was ok
• Berner's tavern is all about the room
• High vaulted ceilings and a room absolutely covered with gilt framed paintings
• They have round tables so once you've stopped looking around with an air of childlike wonder
• Any place that isn't ashamed of having Prawn cocktail on the menu almost immediately wins favours with me so what if it's reminiscent of a 70's dinner party
• This is retro with a twist though as my Prawn cocktail comes with a chunk of lobster and a genius twist of crispy shallots
• Standing on a wooden platter for me to spoon onto my plate with an accompaniment of chips
• It's no wonder all these happy buzzy people are eating here today
• Its not the best steak I've ever had
• Chef Jason Atherton is the dessert king this is really because his Pollen Street Social is the only restaurant I know with a dedicated dessert bar and as far as I'm concerned
• We order up a selection of macaroons and a warm cinnamon doughnut with chocolate ganache and almond sorbet
• The doughnut is rich and gooey and perfectly complemented by the almond sorbet which is light and cuts through the richness of the doughnut
• Walking into Berners Tavern is like stumbling into Aladdin&rsquo
• S cave and the stunning interior is enough to make you gasp as soon as you slip through the doors
• We were confronted by a room of majestic proportions with intricately carved soaring ceilings and artwork covering almost every inch of wall in sight
• We chose Asparagus which arrived delicately presented with brilliant blobs of colour (look at me being all technical) and fresh as anything
• The Prawn and Lobster Cocktail was served in a martini glass and while a little on the large side was delicious nonetheless
• It was always going to be the duck with caramelised apples
• Deciding we were totally stuffed and couldn&rsquo
• Thank goodness for sweet teeth since this was a delectable dish presented beautifully with tiny gold flecks
• Appealing to miss magpie here who has a certain penchant for all things gold and the chocolate sorbet was refreshing in a way that all chocolate should be
