Never been, but keep meaning to. Michelin star, I think?

Went to the Waterside in Bray a couple of months back - the one owned by the Roux Brothers chefs. Meal for 2 cost £400 !!! & a bottle of wine cost £118 !!
My work paid for it all cos I won a sales incentive thing.

To be honest - while the food was fantastic I am a real pie & mash man. That would have done me just fine.

Best bit was meeting a guy in the bar who had just bought a Ferrari 360 Modena the day before for £110k.
He took me for a spin in it the following day - what a car !!

If I remember rightly the Fat Duck is owned by a chap called Heston Blumenthal. The food is exquisite, the wine cellar is excellent and the prices can make you whince a bit. But it is one of the mostly highly rated restaurants in the area if not the country. Enjoy your meal.
