Have not bee to ambassade yet, but its one of those places that I will have to visit soon, it seemingly polarises opinion among the critics.

I absolutely loved the sauce – a meal unto its own.

I agree, l’Ambassade de l’Ile is under-appreciated – exactly the kind of secret that those of us who seek these kind of intimate thrills would love to keep under our shirts, no? As I wrote in my RGR at RHR review, that restaurant is utterly pro forma.

As you say, there are imperfections, but the cooking at its best here if of the highest standard. I’d rather have an uneven but sometimes brilliant meal here than a safe-as-houses but unexciting experience at Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea.

This was a very thoughful and evocative review.

If you haven’t noticed, I work from a different logic. I provided the chronology with the listed menu at the beginning. You’re a big boy, you can piece the puzzle back together on your own!

Don’t worry, the license salesman was pretty confident about the license he was selling. I decided to take his word for it. *wink*

Nice write-up.
