Dogma
Dogma is located on Byard Lane, opposite Paul Smith's original shop. It's above the smoke-filled bar of the same name.
The menu looks as though Gordon Ramsey has had a go at it, telling them to pare it down to the achievable minimum and then build up from there. I could have cooked everything on that menu, and I wouldn't have needed a recipe book. It's really very pedestrian indeed. I had steak and chips (!)
That said, they are actually capable of delivering these modest aspirations. They didn't incinerate anything and it seemed to have been freshly prepared. It's not bad value for money
The waitress had an interesting trick. The food is delivered on rectangular plates which she self-consciously arranged at a jaunty 45 degree angle to the table so that the corner hung over the edge and poked you in the ribs. We tolerated this unique serving innovation (acquired no doubt in some preposterous London brasserie) for about 5 seconds before restoring everything to the perpendicular.
