We booked a week in advance (7:30pm) and didn't get our table until 8:15/8:20. So much for booking in advance and for a expensive restaurant that is just unacceptable. The four of us then ordered a few drinks, which looking back can only be deemed as being overpriced. We then had some bread, which was average at best, but bread is bread I guess.

We ordered the Crab Salad, Amuse Bouche and some soup to kick things off, only to be disappointed. The soup was watery and flavourless while the crab salad was acceptable when considering the price makes it poor value for money. The crab in the salad although shredded, must have come from a tin can and most likely those cheaper brands as we had issues with crab shells. The Amuse Bouche was decent, but was a little salty for our taste and as opposed to being slightly warm felt extremely cold.
We then ordered 2 x wagyu beef cheek and a trio of wagyu short rib and the cod fish.
The wagyu beef was below par as there was no meat flavour, you could only tastethe sauce and salt. We actually found the hash brown to be more enjoyable than the meat!
The wagyu short rib was acceptable, the meat had flavour and it was not excessively salty like the beef cheek.
The cod fish was already soggy by the time it got to us, the fish felt slimy. Once again another salty dish! The minestrone soup was too salty and lacked thickness. The meat from the cod fish didn't seem fresh, which I figure is the reason for the high doesage of salt.
At this point the 4 of us weren't impressed, but thought what the heck lets try to cheer up with a simple desert. We all thought you can't really stuff up too badly making a desert, so we ordered 2 apple tarts with ice cream between us. Like a previous review said, the tarts were not thick enough and lacked apples.
To sum up, we were far from impressed with the Drawing Room due to the high price and the poor quality of the food. The atmosphere and venue was decent, but you go to a restaurant to eat and in the case of an expensive restaurant you should be served excellent food, which clearly wasn't the case here. One other thing we noticed was the disgusting toilets, which really doesn't fit in with the rest of the restaurant. We also had an issue with my colleagues wine glass being very dirty.
