"Although it adheres to all of the usual fancy restaurant tropes—white tablecloths, concerningly engaged staff, plates of food that likely have their own blueprint—Pollen Street Social manages to feel kind of relaxed. Yes, a series of unexpected snacks will appear but no, you don’t always have to pay three figures. Considering you’re sitting in a Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant, and the modern European food (and the song and dance around it) is very good, it’s pretty good-value." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna, Rianne Shlebak
