It's all about respect. There's no doubt that the chefs at Michael Caines' respect their ingredients: everything is cooked and arranged on the plate with a technical skill and precision which can only be admired. The flavours are subtle and sing as clearly as a pure musical note, if perhaps a little short of the unusual or imaginative combinations, the "wow" factor that you might hope for at this end of the market. There's also no doubt that if you are there on a date, your companion will respect your ability to hand over around £100 for three courses for two people - more if you drink your wine by the bottle rather than the glass - without whimpering. The only question is whether serving up food at these prices in portions which border on the nouvelle (where DO they find such small scallops?), and then charging extra for vegetables, really shows a lot of respect for their customers. It's your choice. If you want faultless food and are willing to pay handsomely for it, this is the place for you; if you want something less fussy and more filling, perhaps there are other establishments around to better suit your needs.
