"There is a tremendous sense of flair to this sexy, stylish restaurant with a party atmosphere. The glowing, flaming grills are an immediate eye-catcher, as is the jungle-inspired décor that combines with live music to make this the perfect place not just for a meal, but for a proper night out. Quality ingredients power the roster of South American dishes from tiraditos to tequeños. There's a small sushi selection available too, from the playfully named 'Japazonico' menu." - Michelin Inspector

Jess Glynne Accuses Sexy Fish Restaurant Mayfair of ‘Discrimination’ | Eater London

"A high-end Mayfair restaurant a short walk from the aforementioned venue that offers a similarly expensive dining experience and, by contrast, reportedly welcomed the same guests warmly. Described as having an almost identical dress code that was apparently not enforced in this case, it greeted the pair with ‘‘pure joy’’ and delivered an enjoyable, well-served meal — noted in the account as a pricey but satisfying alternative when entry was refused elsewhere." - Adam Coghlan

Loyle Carner Loves Ottolenghi and One of London’s Best New Restaurants | Eater London

"An Amazon-themed restaurant on Berkeley Square known for its ornate, over-the-top interiors; an Oscar-winning actor dining there while on a promo tour was photographed leaving with his fly undone, attracting paparazzi attention and headlines." - Guy Pewsey

Silo Restaurant’s Doug McMaster Thrills London Restaurant Critic | Eater London

"A vast, clubby Mayfair jungle of a restaurant that trades in spectacle and indulgence, with impressive scale — glowing bars, panelled wood, a crackling central kitchen — and a clientele to match. Drinks can be ludicrous and gimmicky, and small touches (like a tacky sign) can shatter the illusion, yet the food often outperforms expectations: hamachi tiradito in a slurpable passionfruit marinade, an Aymara palmito salad of salty-sweet impact, and well-salted, charred rump steaks. There are misses — bland humitas and under-seasoned yuca fries — and plenty of gloriously trashy items (grubby chicken tequeños, sticky rotisserie pineapple) that reveal the place’s true aim: to provide wealthy diners a glitzy alibi for enjoying unsophisticated pleasures, which for many will be exactly the point." - George Reynolds

Amazonico Madrid Will Open London Rainforest Restaurant in Mayfair | Eater London

"A Madrid-born restaurant famed for drawing celebrities, socialites and politicians into a rainforested, nature‑inspired interior will open at 10 Berkeley Square in Mayfair on 9 November. Spanish restaurateurs Santo da Silva and Marta Santos set up a UK company and secured planning permission for the Allied Irish Bank building, with the application handled by Gerald Eve; operational management will be provided by Dogus International Ltd (operators of Zuma, Roka, Inko Nito, Oblix, Coya, Ruya and Tom’s Kitchen). The venue is proposed to offer all‑day trading (7:00am–1:00am) with 281 covers in total — 258 in the main restaurant and 23 at a lounge bar — and a frontage featuring green awnings reminiscent of the Madrid site. Culinary claims emphasize a tropical, Asian, Mediterranean and Brazilian fusion reflective of “a journey down the Amazon,” with an eclectic menu likened to Zuma and Nobu and featuring dishes such as tandoori, sushi, Mexican aguachile, soft egg with caviar, Kobe beef, American steaks, frog legs, poke and churrascaria, while the concept stresses an homage to nature and cultural combinations from Japan, China and India." - James Hansen
