No, tell us what you really think.

Tonight, there was a dessert of coconut, rhubarb, and black olive. Obvious in its execution how innovation and experiment, when introduced for their own sake, are annoying. --irnscrabblechf52, May 9, 2013

Yikes, I have a reservation there in July. Since there's still time to switch, do you have any suggestions. We're also going to The Ledbury, The Square, The Harwood Arms, The Bull & Last and Pollen Street Social on this holiday.a) it's very hard to get a reservation

Pied a Terre, River Cafe, not very fashionable but excellent food.
Or you could try an Indian place -- Quilon or Trishna.
Or the new St John Hotel restaurant is quite good -- I had some great suckling pig recently there.

Sifton went.
He thinks pigeon is "poultry". I suppose farmed pigeon is, but if he thinks pigeon is better farmed than wild he is misguided. (I don't think that is his point; I think he believes grouse is poultry too.)

I really don't know where to start with this article. He wants to take a look at
"restaurants that are helping London make its mark on the world’s map of Places Where It Is Good to Eat."
Where has the NYT been for the last 20 years?
Can we have more stereotypes please?
"prickly British press" and "In Britain, class will always loom".
"Reservations at Dinner.... are in any event among the hottest tickets in town. (A meal for two costs in the neighborhood of $200.) The rush for them rivals the one for orchestra seats for the new West End production of “Much Ado About Nothing,” with a cast led by the television stars Catherine Tate and David Tennant,"
Err, Tennant might be a TV star but he is a classically trained actor. (Looking up the comedian's Tate's bio, she is too.)
It was not a new dish, as I recognised my tooth marks. Wilfrid

"Game" doesn't seem quite right either. Perhaps "carrion".
