Overpriced and pretentious, Tom’s ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ restaurant left us feeling not a little cheated! My pal and I regularly visit London’s finest and are happy to spend big on our occasional indulgent ‘splurges’, but rarely have we been so disappointed by a dining experience; especially one so ‘hyped’. We’ve enjoyed fine dining from hipster to ultra-traditional, so the lack of ‘white-tablecloth’ formality didn’t put us off. And the staff were very sweet and very earnest. Perhaps a little too earnest though. This isn’t a church or a museum, it’s a restaurant! So much hushed reverence toward Tom and his Michelin stars seemed a little suffocating. Especially when the staff seemed so hamstrung by his guidelines that it stifled their natural warmth and generosity. Case in point, the very stingy measures applied to the pouring of drinks! I’d just had a couple of fantastic-quality, generous dry martinis at the wonderful nearby Library Bar (in The Lanesbrough). The shonky, thimble-sized martini I was served at Muse was laughably disappointing in comparison! We also ordered the matching wines along with our vegetarian tasting menus, but again, the staff seem to have been instructed to be super-stingy when pouring! We actually thought the sommelier was letting us taste the wine before she poured it, but it transpired that that was what passes for a FULL glass at Muse! The real insult though was when we took the extra ‘supplemental’ cheese-course (there not being one included on the already expensive tasting menu) and finding that cheese, being a plural or singular noun, was indeed singular at Muse! One type of cheese is NOT a cheese course! Especially not when again you order an accompanying glass of port and are again presented with a thimble-full. We would have discussed our thoughts and feedback with Tom on the night, but we were told he wasn’t there. If you’re spending £700 on a meal for two, you ought really to feel a little more spoiled than this. Tom, don’t spend so much money on fancy, fiddly 3D menus if it means short-changing your clientele. It’s all style, no substance and a very poor show.
