    I would say that depends very much on the guest of honour. How adventurous are they? Would they appreciate what Loam has to offer?

    The Pullman is probably the safer but more boring bet ;)

    Pullman would be safer, certainly, but not necessarily more boring. I would say it would be the more "romantic" (if that is relevant:)) while Loam would be more "on the edge" for a foodie. I would not describe Loam's setting as "romantic" (but each to their own).

    If you are looking for a traditional formal dining experience then choose Pullman. If you are looking for outstanding food in a modern relaxed atmosphere choose Loam.

    Dude, you can't ask about two restaurants and then go with a third, unmentioned. It defeats the whole purpose of asking.








    Agreed, Le Petit Pois is very nice

    I know but circumstances change. Will eventually eat in one of them and the feedback here will have helped.

    I had been going to suggest, in reply to your original question, that this might represent a happy compromise. Glad you enjoyed it. Great spot.
