Comebacks are often mawkish and ill-advised. Old flames inevitably disappoint. Yet Jeremy King, London’s preeminent restaurateur, is working to pull off and rekindle one at his new venue.

The man who is internationally famous for creating dining rooms like the Wolseley and the Ivy — places that make you feel like you’ve been welcomed into an elite members club — is now endeavouring to recreate that singular environment again. And it’s in familiar territory for him, at the end of a small street in the ritzy St. James neighborhood, where a blue neon sign lures you in.
