I dined at Corrigan's last week and I had a wonderful evening the new pianist was amazing thoroughly enjoyed listening to him and the fun was devine, can't wait to go there again
I'll admit it – I absolutely love Richard Corrigan's cooking. Big, hearty flavours, not afraid of being adventurous, always follows the seasonality charts, and above is never afraid of standing up for his beliefs and making big, bold statements. His Mayfair restaurant had its wobbles early on, but from my last two visits there I can only see and say that things have improved immeasurably, to the point that every part verges on almost perfect. The service, for one, really is exceptional, from the lovely friendly staff at reception through to the bartenders and waiters. Even the head waiter, who I originally thought had something stuffed up where it shouldn't be, had relaxed and was much more convivial. Food as ever was sensational – great beef with the most exquisite red anchovy butter. Supreme tea roasted veal sweetbreads. Just epic in every way. Desserts were equally impressive with the lychee mousse exceptionally light and well balanced. I love the wine list too – deservedly Wine List of the Year 2010 at the Imbibe Awards. However I think the wine list at The Penny Black Restaurant in Chelsea that I went to a few nights ago might run it very close for ease of reading, description and choice. Pricey though – actually really at the top end of expensive. But in my opinion worth every penny. And if you get to chat to Richard as I did over the bar, you'll understand completely the direction from which he attacks the restaurant industry. Brilliant.

They helped us out very much with our last minute Sunday evening business gathering. They happily accepted after-the-last-minute (?) request for menu change to accommodate our guests' preference, and the result was superb.
Intorduction to the chef, endless amuse-bouche, sommerlier in the room for perfect choice of wine, our guest had wonderful night.
Unpretentious and impressive. Corrigan's delivered on all fronts. The starter of Natives was delicious (with traditional sherry vinegar etc), my fish was excellent as well. We shared the cote de boeuf for two which was an entire 1kg rib of beef - well seasoned and impeccably cooked to a medium rare. The puddings were extremely well crafted - rhubarb soufflé with a biscuity crumble topping for example. The wine list was very good and they had some interesting ones by the glass. I anticipate that it won't be long before Michelin give this place a star or two. Fine dining.
Bought £30 for three course deal with lastminute but with wine, sides for the main course and service charge it came to £128 altogether. Service was excellent and the desert Textures of Chocolate was the highlight. The lowlight was my starter - Beef Tournedos which turned out to be some minced mush that tasted predominantly of dill vinegar. Mains were ok not exceptional but the wine was - a Perricone at £36 one of the cheaper bottles they had and very good indeed!
My husband treated me to a meal at Corrigans for our anniversary. It's not uisually the kind of place I would go to but it didn't disappoint. My fish was delicious and hubby's pheasant was also good. I would certainly go again for our next celebration meal.
