The Visit
The reviewer visited The River Restaurant by Gordon Ramsay at the Savoy Hotel for a classic fish and chips experience.

Despite this, the overall dining experience was enjoyable, with excellent service and a relaxing atmosphere. The reviewer recommends the restaurant, though suggests trying other dishes for the best experience.
What They Ate
Quotes
"Chips, banging, fantastic. Beautiful batter to it all."
"The tartar sauce, I wish I could actually bottle that and take it home with me."
"Love the crushed peas as well."
"The thing that let it down was the size of the haddock. The ratio of haddock to batter wasn't there, and it wasn't right."
"Would I recommend going there? Yes, but have something a little bit different, because if you're going to have fish and chips, go to Heston's. His is better and what have you, but in fairness, it is far better than Carriage's at Harrods."
"The service is fantastic. Marks, I'm going to give it 7.5, 8. 7.5, 8 out of 10."
"I really enjoyed it. I really relaxed, so all in all, yeah, I highly recommend it."
