"Hidden behind a curtain in a corner of the grand lobby of the Midland Hotel, there’s more than a feel of Alice in Wonderland as you are transported through mirrored doors into the dining room of The French.

Chef Adam Reid’s cooking is inventive and playful but executed with real precision and flair."
