Frommer's Review

In a converted 18th-century building in Mayfair, Mourad ("Momo") Mazouz, along with a team of chefs and designers, mastermind this fashionable creation. You can come here to dine elegantly but also to bar-hop, as Sketch is actually a number of venues that, to confuse matters, change their agendas as the day progresses. For example, one section is an art gallery by day and "gastro-brasserie" by night. Whimsical and informal, the Parlour is for light lunches and delectable teas. In the Lecture Room and Library, each dish represents different sensations. The Art Gallery becomes a restaurant and bar at night. The East Bar is a popular late-night rendezvous and The Glade is open for lunches and light snacks.

The menu showcases a cuisine that is both bold and imaginative -- and also delicious. For starters, you get not only fresh Tsarskaya oysters, but they also come with lemon, shallots, vinegar, and warm rye bread pudding. The fresh pumpkin soup is always invigorating. Well-flavored, tender lamb is served with a beet-root cake, white cabbage, and dried fruits, and the roasted and caramelized baby tuna comes with steamed zucchini, red pepper, celery leaves, and toasted sesame seeds.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
