Sketch午间艺术套餐－食物篇：伦敦Mayfair的Sketch，以一座老式的联排别墅改造，每个房间依然是过去的格局，以至我去了第三次，都坐在不同房间，体验了截然不同的食物，服务和环境。

这次的书房午间套餐加一张艺术展入场卷，总共加起来49镑钱（500人民币）， 米其林二星厨房提供的美食，说起来实在划算。所以一开始我并没有奢望这样的套餐能有多精致，可是一进房门就被满眼的帅气服务生热情的送上香槟欢迎的时候，我知道自己是错了。从四种不同的餐前小菜，到每人四份的开胃菜（Starter），再到自己选择的主菜（牛肉，鳕鱼或素食选项），到包括（任选多少种都可以的）起司加另三项甜点，每道都精心制作。一道道上菜衔接紧密，服务生不断照料嘘寒问暖，讲解所有菜肴的做法和推荐的吃法。。。无论从菜品还是服务，这套49镑外加艺术展票的套餐，都完全的俘虏了我的心。 现在再订位，虽然已经不是我之前去的展，但也会有其他的展览票（一般市价15镑左右）加入到套餐中。因为餐厅的区间众多，要订这个房间的午间套餐，记得点这个链接：Lunch set menu。

Quite rarely, there would be a restaurant which you could go for a few times and experience a whole new world every time. Sketch in Mayfair is a unique existence like that. 

Being the third time there for myself, I was drawn by the Lunch set menu in the lecture room/ library that come with an exhibition ticket together for 49 pounds. Sounded like a fair deal anywhere, especially considering the two Michelin starred kitchen, plus a whole new unexplored interior wonder within the building!

I kept my expectation to a minimum as one would for any bundle/bargain deal. But soon after being led through a (usually) gated staircase to this grand room filled by a dozen not-too-shabby-looking waiters, I knew the bar needed to be raised.

A selection of Champaign was rolled to me as soon as I was seated. Then it was poured into the glass up high, allowing a great view of the domed roof as well as the bubbles. 

My gallery ticket (then to the Summer Exhibition, and now to the Ai WeiWei at the RA) waited for me by the table.

So the menu was set, with a choice of your main from a selection of three. A choice was quickly made, and there came some starters before the starters.

Arancini, seaweed crackers with wasabi mousse, martini jellies, sea bass sashimis and parmesan cookies. All extremely tasty and were washed down with the champaign in no time.

In the short interval between the starters-before-starters and our real starters, there was literately only time to take two swift snaps of the room. And a selection of four starters were presented before us, filling up the whole table. 

There were the rabbit pate, grilled leek, sliced aubergine and cured sea bream. Scraping up all the plates clockwise with little help from the bread, I felt a main course might not be necessary at that point. So I decided to take a little sightseeing tour around to the rest of the restaurant, which might help digest some of those starters. 

I was back and the mains soon came to the table. Either the tasty food or the short walk helped, but my mouth was immediately watering. 

I had Scottish flank steak with lemon basmati rice, and friend chose brazed cod with orange glazing. There was a vegetarian choice, but none of us went for it that day.

After the main, a selection of more than 20 different cheeses were again, rolled to us. Our waiter explained them one by one, and I finally made my choice despite feeling confusingly spoiled somewhere in the middle of that process.

Together with the cheese, the dessert selection also included almond bread, cinnamon crackers and fruit sorbets.
