The various reviews linked to from here http://www.urbanpath.com/london/modern-european/arbutus.htm say it all - "This is a radically spanking, thoroughly massive piece of restaurant-making. The kind of place that New York or Paris would kill to have. You can't eat better than this." "here's nothing déclassé about Arbutus, which leaps straight into my top 10 London restaurants to show off to visiting friends. Charming, flavourful, imaginative, fags- and muzak-free and with that revolutionary wine policy, it breathes the atmosphere of a foodie shrine that knows exactly what it's doing." "The best thing, however, is Arbutus's sense of time and place. When you eat here, you simply could not be anywhere else in the world, at any other time, than in England in late spring or early summer. And how nice, that you actually get to pay less for that privilege, rather than more." They even have a set early-evening 3 course menu for 18 quid if you're on a budget. Simon
