Just a quick pinch. Popped in today, quite impromptu and it was a delightful result. The rather charming but completely dated Ambassador (famous for its views and Irish coffees) has been revamped with panache and great vigour – now its a chic, modern space, still with the same views, but now you can also look inwards… big glass panes, brown and white tones, a slightly baroque lounge area, it’s all restful and sophisticated.
Friendly service (except for the exit, when our extravagant leave-taking merited no good-bye), a great winelist (all wines by the glass and an intelligent list) and a modern menu with a leaning to light meals and mix and match plates. Crayfish club sandwich for the show-offs, otherwise a good tempura calamari, competent but not stellar gnocchi, great pork belly. Classics like rib-eye steak bearnaise will get me back, as will the superb look and feel of the place
Substance to style – gotta love it. And the prices are fair.
