"Verdict: Core is a fine dining British restaurant inside a Notting Hill townhouse. It’s where we’ve eaten the best carrot of our lives and tested our phone’s storage capacity by going full stage mom over a perfect scallop tartare plated in a shell. Course after course is excellent, and the experience itself is formal but doesn’t feel too stuffy. Dishes like mini lobster rolls and homemade wine gums will make even the most hardened of adults feel giddy." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
