BY NEAL MARTIN |
The Food:
Sea bass tartar, oyster cream, green apple and shiso

Cornish bluefin tuna, late summer tomatoes, blood peach, smoked almond pesto and basil
Roast Newlyn cod, persillade of Scottish girolles, line-caught squid, crisp potatoes and Alsace bacon
Cornus has hit the ground running. It was a pleasure to see familiar faces, including co-owner David O’Connor. It is a place for a special meal, though, at the time of writing, a three-course lunch for £55 per person means Cornus does not price itself out of many people’s pockets. The standard of cooking is amongst the best I have encountered this year. The wine list is enticing. Service is impeccable.
