Restaurant review: Jackson & Rye brings New York flavours to ...

Review analysis
food   staff  

We can’t stop London’s restaurant scene turning into a carbon copy of New York’s five boroughs, so why not wallow in the ersatz US pleasures afforded by the latest offering from the people that brought you Grillshack.

The name, I’m told, is ‘evocative of the heritage American menu’ and the wide range of rye whiskeys stocked in the front bar.

The unambitious all-day menu won’t win awards for gastronomic innovation but offers value for money and is well executed.

Generously proportioned main courses of steak and eggs and buttermilk fried chicken don’t disappoint.

With its cheery service, burgers, steaks and deep-fried food, Jackson & Rye is TGI Friday’s with attitude and an education, which, given its popularity, appears to be exactly what London wants.

At the forefront of this wave one can find Jackson + Rye Brasserie on Wardour Street in Soho, where from the morning to the evening, one can find American classics on offer.

Arrive early for a proper Yankee breakfast – eggs done how you like them, buttermilk pancakes, bagels and more – come for brunch on the weekend, or swing by later for an extensive menu of French and American brasserie dishes that are classy in an approachable way, just like you might find in a New York City restaurant or French bistro.

The New York brasserie feel gives the restaurant a buzzy vibe and the menu features some changes, too.

The new menu is a combination of the best of French and American brasserie dishes, and thankfully for regulars, there are still dishes off the old menu, too.

Whether you take a trip into the heart of London’s Soho for a lunch with your colleagues, a pre-theatre meal or a full evening sitting, you can do far worse than Jackson + Rye Brasserie on Wardour Street to get your fixings.

Press critics being too snooty to keel up for a free dinner, tables at previews and launches are now filled with a hungrier audience, and the ether is guaranteed to be all a-tremble the next day.

Caring, the orange-and-titanium-tinted mogul behind some of the capital's hottest restaurants, is also behind Jackson + Rye.

So it's weird to find myself in among this lot at dinner chez Jackson + Rye.

Fried chicken features flabby bird: more grease-bound chippy, batter thick as a MasterChef greengrocer, than evolved comfort food.

Everyone else who was there raved about it online the next day: job done.

A faithful homage to upscale American brasseries, with diner-style breakfasts, a lively bar and a spot-on atmosphere at night.

Please note, Jackson & Rye has overhauled its menu and now offers a host of American-influenced French brasserie dishes.

The Martin Brudnizki Design Studio interior looks just right – a miniature ‘Nighthawks’ by Edward Hopper, only much more convivial with its well-placed central bar in an L-shaped room, flatteringly low lighting, the burble of lively conversation, the clink of glasses.

The kitchen kicks off the day with a diner-style breakfast menu that includes creamed grits (a maize porridge originally from the Southern states) topped with flaked almonds, berries and maple syrup, and enough brunch-style egg dishes to keep a Boston cabbie’s blood pressure up; my baked eggs with ham and spinach were slightly overcooked, a common problem when using a cast-iron cocotte dish.

In one week I visited for breakfast, lunch and dinner – and evening was the best time to drop in, when the low lighting and lively bar scene is at its most atmospheric, and the best waiting staff were pressed into service (service in the daylight hours was hit-or-miss).
