Giles Coren Calls Chef Tom Kerridge’s First London Restaurant ‘Boss’ | Eater London

"An ambitious Japanese restaurant with show-stopping dishes and some service and value issues. The house bento is praised for exquisite, artful presentation, while the wagyu — whether on excellent rice or seared on the robata to a blackened, beefy crust — is lauded for its intense, buttery richness. However, staff can feel undertrained or brusque, prices are steep, wine pours meagre, and operational hiccups (a missing dish, fish pre-sliced for later services, and being hurried out) dent the overall impression. There is much to celebrate on the plate, but key front-of-house and pricing areas need tightening." - George Reynolds
