Is this Mayfair's coolest new diner?

"In Mayfair and looking for the perfect burger? May we point you in the direction of Dover Street Counter, one of our new favourite restaurants in London . We've just reviewed this slick new diner, which comes from the same team as The Dover, the New York-style Italian restaurant which opened in 2023, and which we loved so much that it made our list of the best restaurants in London ."

"it serves 'feel-good' food and drink, which also extends to salmon steak, lobster, buttermilk fried chicken, a chopped salad, and of course the aforementioned burger. 'The cheeseburger is so on point as to almost be a cartoon-like rendition of the all-American meal, the perky beef patty topped with luminous yellow cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard,' reads our review. 'I had a hangover before I ate it, and after three bites, I did not. Surely the sign of a burger doing its job.'"
