Angela Hartnett's Murano gains more praise

Angela Hartnett's new restaurant Murano in London has gained more praise by the capital's food critics, with Time Out's Guy Dimond saying its menu is "sensational".

Meanwhile, The Metro's Marina O'Loughlin is somewhat underwhelmed by 12 Temple Place at the Howard Hotel and laments the fact that the restaurant is completely "deserted".

Your chance to grill the critics

They pronounce on your restaurants, but what motivates them, and are they fully qualified to pass judgement?

We're offering you the chance to put the Observer's Jay Rayner, Nick Lander from the Financial Times and the Evening Standard's Charles Campion on the spot in our new feature 'Ask the Critic'.

It's a chance to press the UK's top restaurant columnists on exactly how much chef training they've received, for example, or what you should most change at your restaurant - in their opinion.

So e-mail your enquiries to catererfeatures@rbi.co.uk or write to Tom Vaughan, Caterer and Hotelkeeper, Quadrant House, The Quadrant, Sutton, Surrey, SM2 5AS - together we can grill them.
