Sketch Review

Sketch offers an extraordinary variety of dining experiences. Housed in a converted 18th-century building in Mayfair, it's masterminded by Mourad Mazouz of Momo, and French chef, Pierre Gagnaire. The Lecture Room and Library is a riot of color and style with an equally flamboyant menu -- this is the place for Gagnaire's most inventive cooking. His style is unique, taking an impressive range of ingredients for each dish so that one course becomes an assemblage of three or four small dishes. For more modest prices and less complex dishes, try the Gallery, with videos playing on the walls, loud music, and buzzing atmosphere. Wild sea bass carpaccio with redcurrant jelly and celeriac, and roast lamb with peanut and tandoori sauce, mango and papaya salad, tamarind jus, and dried Paris mushrooms are on the menu. The quirkily decorated Parlour offers all-day dining, and becomes a bar at night.

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.
