Now closed; was a fine dining restaurant in [[Locale Mayfair|Mayfair]]. As of December 2012 the premises are occupied by Alvin Leung's restaurant, [http://bolondonrestaurant.com/ Bo London]. The information below is retained for people who want to know what it was like as Patterson's. <div class="old_info"> A fine dining restaurant in [[Locale Mayfair|Mayfair]], next door to [[Windmill, W1S 2AZ|The Windmill]] pub. <b>Note:</b> As of July 2012, Patterson's website states that they are "closed until further notice", and [https://twitter.com/alittledavetime/status/228470177665273857 a comment on Twitter] notes that there's building work going on. Much like its elegant exterior, the inside is comfortable without being flashy. There are a number of tables receding down the long and narrow room, which on a Tuesday evening is not too busy and allows a table of 6 to be seated easily. Service is as friendly and polite as you might expect. The menu has a solid modern European feel to it, with a good range of options <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/7313807400/sizes/l photo of dinner menu in May 2012]</small>. The price for three courses is £47 at dinner, but there are often special offers available on the internet, and we were using an offer for 50% off food, not that any of the food quality seemed to suffer. An amuse bouche of frothy veloute <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/7313807778/ photo]</small> was pleasant. [[Ewan]]'s starter of squab breast <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/7313808106/ photo]</small> was remarkably red inside, but still very tasty. The menu's promise of a sage and filo pastry wrapping didn't seem to be in evidence, but the accompanying confit celeriac was pleasing. [[Kerry]]'s risotto Milanese <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/7313808412/ photo]</small> was superb, and one of the meal's highlights, with the rich creamy textured risotto topped by a tempura courgette flower. For the main, [[Ewan]]'s turbot with lobster bisque <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/7313808742/ photo]</small> was served with a slightly underwhelming tian of aubergine, and the fish itself was fine, but the undoubted highlight (attracting a supplement) was the bisque, incredibly rich and velvety with chunks of lobster. [[Kerry]]'s sirloin of beef with seared foie gras <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/7313808984/ photo]</small> was cooked as requested (rare) and perfectly decent. Another highlight, though, was the dessert course. My tarte tatin <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/7313809270/ photo]</small> had a good sticky tarte served with icecream and some unctuous caramel, all very good. Other desserts, such as the Pineau des Charentes with melon soup were lovely and well-regarded by our group.
