... or a restaurant by its interior. English Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsey, who travels the continents to slag of aspiring chefs and malfunctioning restaurants on national TV, wouldn't be able to suppress his trademark "f**cking hell* when walking into The Drawing Room. This time, my holy grail of London's restaurant scene, toptable.co.uk, let me down big time. But it's partly down to my own superficiality of judging most/all things in life by their design. 
Not that The Drawing Room looked super-trendy or Conran-stylish, but it looked interesting enough to book a table.
Half-decent pub food, that's the best I could say about this place. Or as Gordon Ramsey would say: when you serve f**cking pub food, charge for f**cking pub food. And serve it in a f**cking pub.
I have hardly ever left a restaurant being so stuffed. The portions could feed a whole family. And I mean one portion for all!
The sea bass was monstrous, the pineapple that came with it tasteless, and although the crab meat salad was made of actual crab meat rather than surimi: one couldn't have cared less, it didn't have much taste anyways.

The fried goat's cheese was a nice idea for a 21st century take on of an 80ies classic. But again far too much, and just not 21st century enough.
So guys, go back to catering college, throw out the posh interior and give the local community what they really want: a cosy pub, decent food and ok prices.
