The Press Room has quite some positive reviews. However, a couple of friends told me that they were not impressed by the food. To make my own judgment, I tried their Restaurant Week set lunch on a Wednesday.
With the high ceiling, the restaurant feels spacious. We had a very good table by the window. Everyone was friendly and attentive. A complimentary drink was offered to each diner of the Restaurant Week set lunch and it certainly was a pleasant surprise.
For the $158 three-course lunch set, my friend ordered Salmon Tartar, Grilled Wagyu Minute-Steak, and Summer Lemon Custard Tart. I ordered 18 Months Bayonne Ham & Seasonal Melon, Olive Oil poached Cod Fillet and Daily Dessert. The foods were generally good. The minute steak was juicy and tender. However, the cod fillet was a little overcooked. The daily dessert, which was Eton Mess for us, was extremely creamy and delicious!
Overall, we were satisfied with the foods except for the cod fillet, but in the mid-level and SOHO area, we could get better food for the price we paid. The service was impressive because everyone smiled when talking to us and I could tell that they did make effort to make the diners happy.Post
