I was entertaining a business guest over from London in preparation for a meeting the following day and he wanted me to book a restaurant (his treat) so I picked Pichet for its location and for the reviews that I had read. We were not disappointed. My guest was coming in from the airport and was running late, so I comfortably sat at the bar served by an impeccably mannered bartender. The starter was a beef rib dish and it was knockout, followed by the venison which was cooked to perfection, dessert we had a kind of a raisin fruit brownie with ice cream. The meal was accompanied with a carafe of rioja and the entire experience was first class.
