Review 2011

"Wildflower is a burst of contemporary style amid the quaint period charm of Maling Road. New management took over mid-2009 but little has discernibly changed, no doubt pleasing the restaurant's seasoned regulars who appreciate the intimate setting and intricate cuisine that has evolved with chef James Kent at the stove. High ceilings, off-white walls and modem, wiry chandeliers set the tone; the mood is unhurried by day. large plane trees casting dappled shade onto the outdoor tabte settings; at night Theatre Place takes on the atmospheric appearance of an unlit stage set. So diners turn to the plate for drama and find rich, elaborate offerings; perhaps buttery crab ravioli and corn soup enlivened with basil and truffle oil; seared scallops with pea puree, minty beurre blanc and leek tart; or a iamb rack with celeriac remoulade. Delicately flavoured spatchcock on braised endive with soft black pudding betrays a lighter touch. Don't back a single dessert; try the share plate for two and sample the lot. including Wood-plum tart crumbly with almonds and pistachios, and softly set chocolate creme brulee. Pleasant, unaffected service benfits the locale."
