Wild Honey St James

Disappointed We had a rather baffling experience at this Michelin-starred restaurant, and unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. From the outset, things felt disjointed. Service was poor and communication was lacking—we had to ask for the wine list four times, and starters arrived before we’d even had a chance to order drinks. The food itself was underwhelming. The rabbit dish was dry and flavorless, oddly topped with stale popcorn (still not sure why). It felt more like a gimmick than a thoughtful culinary choice. The lamb was cooked well, but came with an unappealing side of grains and a portion of “mature” lamb belly that had an off-putting smell and taste. In an attempt to apologise, the staff brought two glasses of red wine—despite the fact we were happily drinking white—which left us more confused than reassured. Overall, the experience felt average at best, certainly not deserving of a Michelin star. The food lacked excitement, finesse, and flavor, and the service issues only compounded the disappointment. We left genuinely puzzled as to how this restaurant earned such high acclaim.
