Cutler & Co.

While McConnell's new venture is perhaps the priciest meal ticket along the strip, those who were fans of his previous ventures - Circa, the Prince and Three, One, Two - will delight in the fact that this enterprising and talented chef is back behind the stoves at an upmarket diner.

The menu, in typical McConnell fashion, summits varying flavours and influences, creating dishes that will surely excite. On offer are starters such as the wood-grilled quail with a foie gras parfait or a succinct salad Lyonnais, a sure winner for those who appreciate thoughtfully prepared offal. Mains are exciting, with suckling pig, sous vide and served with caramelised sherry vinegar sure to delight lovers of pork. There's also a fillet of Hapuka, again sous vide, served with mussels and pipis and a welcome smear of white-bean puree.

Puddings are inventive with a chocolate ice-cream sandwich dribbled with a salted caramel sauce, hands down the richest and most sinful dessert offering. A meringue and rhubarb dessert offers a lighter option particularly with accoutrements of lemon curd and yoghurt sorbet.
