Rhodes W1 Brasserie
The Cumberland Hotel, Marble Arch, Great Cumberland Place, London, W1A 4RF
Housed within the Cumberland Hotel on Marble Arch, the Brasserie at Rhodes W1 is a sleek, stylish and contemporary dining space that offers modern European cuisine subtly infused with British flavours by the Michelin star awarded celebrity chef, Gary Rhodes. With a dramatic bar surrounded by a range of seating from small booths to funky low level tables and benches, the Brasserie is the perfect venue for large informal occasions as well as more intimate meals. There is also an elegant private dining room that is available for special occasions with room for up to 22 seated guests.
Rhodes brings his considerable experience to the table in creating scrumptious dishes made from fresh and quality ingredients. These include starters of roast chicken and stuffing ravioli with fresh chestnut cabbage and crispy bacon, and saffron steamed mussels and lemon gnocchi stew. They are aptly followed by mains of whole grain plaice with shrimps and pistachio butter and braised free range chicken and crayfish broth served with pilaff rice. There are also grills of pork and sirloin steak.
Mouth-watering desserts of raspberry soufflé, raspberry sherbet and sauce and whole orange cheesecake with marmalade cheesecake cream provide a perfect ending to a delicious meal.

REVIEWS OF Rhodes W1 Brasserie
Gradders (6 November 2007)
I had lunch there and the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, was okay, but it was strange to find it listed as a starter. For the main course, I had halibut which was very oily and extremely disappointing; I ended up leaving part of it on the plate. My partner had a steak (cow variety rather than fish variety, halibut is shown under the steak section on the menu). The steak was similarly blighted with lots of oil and a disappointing taste. The service was good a prompt, efficient offering. The wine list is good and prices are average for the area, but we go to a restaurant for the food not just the wine. I doubt if we will return.
Steph (20 September 2007)
I went to try this restaurant on the offer of two courses for £17.50 or three for £20. The choices were limited and ended up ordering off the normal menu. The scallops were lovely, but the lentils very overcooked i.e. mushy. The Ham hock I am told was good. The rib eye was supposed to be cooked medium, but it was almost well done and tough. The plaice fillets were the two smallest pieces of fish I had been served. It was all fried breadcrumb and very little fish. The chips were awful and I think had been cooked in some sort of fat or lard. We shared a dessert of almond cake. It was edible but tasted very much like it belonged in a school dinner hall. It was unmemorable. It was also presented poorly. We ate quite early (7.30), so maybe the head chef had not yet arrived. The service was good except that they failed to bring us the remainder of the wine until asked and the coffee was also delayed and cold. I had hoped for much better things since Michael Winner gave it such a glowing review earlier in the month. Interestingly, he ordered exactly the same dishes as I did. I can only assume they got it right since it was him and/or he was given a complimentary meal. I was not so lucky on either score. I would hesitate to go back.
