Maze

We dined at the chef’s table in the Maze kitchen last night. What a brilliant experience. The service and attention to detail were impeccable - we felt like royalty. Sitting in the kitchen definitely made the evening (I wouldn't want to sit anywhere else). It was fascinating watching the smooth running of the kitchen and feeling part of the buzz. It definitely gave a different perspective on dining out. As each of the twelve courses was presented, a different chef arrived to talk us through the preparation. The food combinations were interesting, and mostly they worked for all of us. My only criticism was that after twelve of them, it all felt a bit rich, but then you expect a lot for your £110 or so a head (before wine). The chefs and staff were extremely friendly, even when we were interrupting their busy work. As you would expect everything was beautifully presented. All six of our party have quite different palates/foodie likes/dislikes, and we were unanimous in that. We all want to do it again-soon.

Brilliant, exciting and vibrant restaurant. I was fortunate to get the chef's table and the food was delightful in every respect. We asked for an emphasis on fish, and were blown away by the array of dishes that followed, with so many different flavours to stimulate the taste buds. The wines, recommended by the restaurant, complemented the food perfectly to make it a memorable afternoon. It is another winner for the best chef in London.
