The two-Michelin-starred spot celebrated for its theatrical dining experience will be dishing up festive treats such as Roasted Scottish Lobster in Red Wine Sauce and Stewed Kale; Chestnut Veloute with Smoked Bacon Jelly and Black Truffle; and the Breast of Pigeon and Foie Gras Steamed in Savoy Cabbage - each one perfect for capping off your year-end celebrations with a touch of decadence.
