The staff has a real polish to them, and the food is cosmopolitan and suave with a real flare that drives the attention to the craftsman ship of chefs. A true 5 star experience

David our waiter was extremely helpful and knowledgable about the food. Moving onto the food, just wow. It was simply incredible…a complete array of tastes with impeccable presentation. We had the 7 course tasting menu. I have had multiple other tasting menus in London/ Paris but the food here surpassed this. It really could not be better. After arriving late to our reservation, we were shown a great comfortable paced service, even despite the fact the restaurant was close to closing. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. To anyone staying at The Well and to anyone visiting this really is a must-do!! Thank you David and to all the other staff at Mori. It was a pleasure!

The 7 course tasting menu served flies in the face of what Kaiseki stands for and offers instead what seems a confused gastronomic narrative with dishes and flavours that do not lead from one to the next, nor enhance the previous or subsequent dishes. Recognising that my palate is sensitive to salt, the salt levels of the artichoke dish was startling, as were the salt levels in the coriander sauce of the lamb dish. Coriander sauce notwithstanding, the lamb was beautifully tender. Shaving truffles over the scallop dish and then again over the artichoke dish seemed more like a bewildering attempt at creating an exclusive dish and did not tie in or give a clear point of view to the flavours. Serving crab gratin with a chilli sauce that has thai flavours contracts the lighter flavoured artichoke dish served later. Serving the same garnish of cress for several dishes did nothing to enhance the flavour of each dish. Serving cress in yuzu dressing and putting a slice of lemon on the side- citruses can be used together but what was the point of this? How were the flavours enhancing the dish together? Particularly disappointing was the miso cod served with a topping of crispy sweet potato, a side of bak choy and what appeared to be a large serving (almost as large as the piece of fish) of what could have been off-the-shelf pickled ginger. This seemed to be a nod at Nobu 's miso cod but not only comes short of the original, it lacks the clarity of flavours. There was also muddied layer of sauce on top of the cod. Service was good, though attention to detail was lacking, the ornamental/ decorative plate was only removed at dish 5 of the 7 course menu. Overall: muddied flavours, with no clear line from one dish to the next in the tasting menu. Highly disappointing fusion cuisine .

Mori is Japanese for forest, suitable since the view out every window from the moment you walk in is an endless expanse of evergreen forest. You get what you pay for, the entire place looks as if it’s been cleaned by hand with a toothbrush, and being located at a spa resort gives one every reason to frequent Restaurant Mori.
