Scott's of Mayfair, Mount Street (London) - review by ElizabethOnFood

Later that month I had lunch at Scott's of Mayfair for the first time and I have frequently visited the restaurant since.

Top-quality freshly shucked oysters, the Carlingfords (bottom in the picture) large, sweet, creamy and juicy and the Jerseys a bit smaller but wonderfully meaty and with a hint of sweetness.As a starter I had the Fried squid with chilli relish and lime.

A generous portion, simple but well-cooked and delicious.My main course was Fillet of sea trout with pea and ricotta tortelloni and a light lemon and mint sauce.

A simple but wonderful dessert of delicious raspberry ripple ice cream, fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries served with a meringue 'shard' and some meringue sticks at the bottom of the coupe.When you enter Scott's you know you could only be in London (in case you had forgotten...).

Scott's, London and Union Square Café, New York

My final conversation was with Danny Meyer, the New York restaurateur, who I have known for many years and who is now facing the prospect of having to close Union Square Café, the restaurant that established his reputation.

Roasted cod with chorizoHistory is not, of course, enough to guarantee survival in a business where any reputation is only as good as the last meal served, and Scott’s went through a dismal era before its renovation under Richard Caring in 2007.

Union Square Café and Scott’s are different in many ways but their success has two essential factors in common.

Scott’s menu is written very much with such customers in mind (even printing the restaurant’s wifi password).

Our first courses – six different varieties of oysters served with hot wild boar sausages and a ceviche of sea bass, served cool, laced with avocado and enlivened with jalapeño chilli – were excellent but it was the grilled fish of the day that was stunningly good.

And they adore Scott’s in Mayfair — opened on Haymarket in 1851, moved to Mount Street in 1968 — famous for its sole meunière and chic ambience, and infamous for an incident with Charles Saatchi, which I’ll nudge a bosom towards then move on.

Every time Scott’s goes out of fashion, it bounces right back.

Clicking through recent pap shots taken at Scott’s entrance is a lovely way to liven up a dull conference call.

When Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell fancied a bite after last year’s Burberry show it was Scott’s to which they sauntered.

So, yes, an up-and-down dinner, yet Scott’s continues to remain in my little black book.

Jay Rayner reviews Scott's, in Mayfair, London | Life and style | The ...

Scott's, 20 Mount Street, Mayfair, London W1 (020 7495 7309).

Meal for two, including wine and service, £150 If restaurants were people, Scott's in Mayfair would be an old duchess, one who has just taken a bloody expensive trip to Harley Street for some serious cosmetic surgery.

Scott's, which opened on the Haymarket in 1851 and moved to its present site in 1968, could become again one of London's great fish restaurants.

We had arrived early so I could sink a few of their lovely Duchy of Cornwall native oysters, which came with enough accessories to make Paris Hilton hyperventilate: Tabasco, sherry vinegar, muslin-clad lemon, bread, finger bowl, plate stand and so on.

Those oysters are £15.25 for half a dozen, as is a starter of three mid-sized scallops with chilli and garlic.

But if you can get behind the scenes, and few do, you’ll find a massive crew: of cooks (obviously) but also of kitchen porters and suppliers, of junior waiters and managers, fine-tuning the experience in real time.

Over by the pass, where each dish is plated during service, Scott’s head chef Dave McCarthy and Caprice group executive chef Tim Hughes are looking at the menu.

The assumption is that the busiest time in a glossy restaurant kitchen will be when the dining room is full and people need feeding, but in truth it’s right now, in the morning hours before service.

Hughes has finished his planning meeting with McCarthy and has moved over to the seafood prep station in the far corner to pick white crab meat from the fresh crabs leftover from yesterday’s seafood display.

It’s 11.45am and time for the morning staff briefing which, because the restaurant’s not yet open, can take place in the dining room.
