restaurant & bar - ham yard hotel

stumbled upon this tucked in a corner, cozy place insohoone windy summer evening. it was my last night in london and the skies too were melancholic!
this place has a small courtyard and inside seating too.
though crowded (was a fri evening), we got a table fast with a wonderful guy to help us - need to go back again to get his name though :-( told you i was sad...
the vermouth got us started as did the mangalitsa ham on lettuce & poached trout with pesto, capers & asparagus! the trout was much better...
the red wine too brightened my mood and made me deeply aware that i could brood tomorrow, the day after and if i want the whole months ahead but this moment in time.... will never be back...ever...
for mains, my partner had the steak and i went with the ham yard fav white wine chili vongole (clams) linguine! twas amazing! the minted new potatoes were delish!
it was a bittersweet evening but the restaurant did make it up....
adios! till we meet again...

probably my favorite addition to thesohofood&drink scene in 2015. they have transformed an otherwise unused area of soho, into a warm and cozy spot. the bar has a nice selection of wines and the nibbles are worth their price. the food at the restaurant is delicious although unpretentious. i have been here a handful of times and love the poached cod

what a fab place ! i'm not sure what used to be in this area but it feels like a whole new area of the piccadilly end ofsohohas been created, such a lovely ambience.
the courtyard area outside the hotel is really lovely.
inside is an elegant and beautifully designed place with funky twists and twirls everywhere.
we had a group dinner with a client to celebrate the end of a project. there were 10 of us around a big oval table which was perfect.
i had mackerel as starter and veal for mains, both superbly cooked and presented. we shared all the sweets on the menu, all were delicious.
it was very busy with a trendy crowd.
really good for a group night out !!
