Let me preface this review by stating that the service was impressive, there were many staff and they were very attentive. You couldn't take a sip of water without it being topped up for you. They were all very well presented and professional. We visited RGR to experience our first three star restaurant having only previously experienced a two star or below. We had high expectations, especially because they had maintained their stars for 25 years. We have however had mixed experience with starred restaurants. I am Vegan, my partner is not. We often visit to try the tasting menu to see the best that they can offer, and in this case we both ordered the Prestige menu. Important due to direct comparison considering the cost is the same. We had sent an email in advance explaining that I am Vegan and we didn't want to see what so often happens, which is that the meat eater gets a dish, and the Vegan gets the same dish, minus all of the elements which are not vegan. Leaving a sad replica. This is mostly what we got. The Amuse-bouche were great. (not fantastic) and I didn't feel left out. However the first course of Salad was a bad start. My partner got a duck salad and the waiter described a honey and vinegar sauce which she drizzled over it. I was presented with the same salad, without the duck, and the waiter attempted to pour the sauce before I covered my plate with my hand and verified that it had honey in it, and explained that I am vegan. This is not the experience I would expect of a Michelin restaurant. The bread arrived next, and the normal bread looked phenomenally delicious. The waiter joked about how it was time for her favourite course and presented it to my partner, I love bread, this stuff looked like magic. It was fluffy and golden, 4 segments and glazed with something like honey again. Beautiful. Then they served me two sad slices of wholegrain sourdough bread. They were really not the highlight of my day. The flavour was almost non existent and obliterated by the olive oil they were served with. (nice olive oil). The next course, I had 3 pieces of asparagus with some sauce. My partner had Gordons renowned lobster ravioli. (You don't hear about Gordons famous trio of asparagus stalks.) the pre-desert was classic as well. my Partner had quince sorbet, with a honey icecream and topped with a beautifully presented honeycomb. You could see with my dish, that they started just as strong. I had the same quince sorbet. - then... they just presented it to me. We are paying the same amount for this experience remember. The vegan doesn't get a discount for the fact that they receive 1/3rd of the dish... I have to hand it to them, the main desert was beautiful. Truly delicious - really enjoyable. It did not make up for the whole experience. They had recently increased their prices for the menu as well (after we booked, prior to paying) so we paid over £500 for what would be a truly forgettable experience were it not etched into my memories as such as disappointment. We have eaten much better elsewhere at a fraction of the cost. The bar gets set higher when you expect a large payment for a service. So deliver on that promise.
