Corrigan’s is everything you’d hope for from a Mayfair restaurant, right down to the ruminative pianist. The setting is reverential, but doesn’t confuse serious with stiff-backed – there are feathered lampshades, stood on metal birds’ feet; a portrait of Dizzy Gillespie trumpets a bouquet of flowers; even the bread is served in jocularly rustic flowerpots. Above all, the food is excellent (good value, too, on the £27 Sunday lunch menu, notwithstanding a £2 cover charge and wines priced to the lower heavens). Despite an emphasis on heavy meats and seafood, nothing is staid. The rich flavour of black pudding croquettes, perfectly combining crunch and tenderness, was neatly cut by the sweetness and sharp acidity of pickled vegetables; sea bream en papillote was similarly perked up with preserved lemon; and lamb cutlet with peas and broad beans oozed summer contentment. The cooking is precise too – not just for a test-case rhubarb crumble soufflé, but also creating triumphantly contrasting textures in the ‘crispy hen’s egg, English asparagus and onion ash’. Service manages to be attentive without becoming fussy, with even the pre-dessert crumb-scraper charmingly deployed. A place for a treat, then, and an admirable one.

Dined last night with a few girlfriends, sat at the bar where we could order from the informal bar menu or the normal a la carte. We went to try the grouse- and we weren't dissapointed. One of my friends was not 'game' enough so she went for the burger- which also looked delicious. The barman Nick looked after us really well and we finished off by sharing desserts. Great night!

My midweek experience was disappointing on account of the other guests and staff. I.e. table full of middle aged city boys about four tables away regaling eachother loudly in detail about the quality of their current shags. Plus two waiting staff held a running argument in front of us. The former problem they can't do too much about, less so the latter although I get the feeling less distracted waiting staff would have picked up on the way the crude banter was putting everyone else off their food. Food 4, atmosphere 2. Avoid midweek late lunches...

Managed to get an autograph from famous Irish poet/after dinner speaker Ailish Jojo Jolene Jo Malone from the posh part of Wexford. She was also signing autographs & having her picture taken with some of the waiters. She disappared with one & came back after five minutes looking a bit dishevelled. Didn't affect the speech though... flawless. Highlights to be shown on RTE this weekend. Didn't recognise anyone in her group, but decided to get their autographs as they were given free champangne on departure ... must be important right? Anyway, googled Sarah Dowling & Fiona Kelly when I got home, but couldn't find anything.

Food good but not great. Going on last night's visit, the staff need better training (no idea about dishes on menu, getting other diners food and timing problems). It's comparatively expensive and there are better value places (nearby) for this type of food - London is packed with restaurants with chefs keen to make their name. I get the impression that they are resting on their laurels.
