The Londoner's elegant and warmly-lit interior is a pleasant
departure from the usual murkiness of hotel restaurants. In
most of those expensive caverns, identifying one's waiter is
only slightly less difficult than identifying one's food. At the
Londoner, however, comfortable high-backed chairs and
large tables with candles make even extended meals a
pleasure. The food, too, was a surprise for a reviewer ex
pecting a menu consiting only of charred steaks and dry pork
chop. -
On Wednesday nights, the Londoner's "gourmet" menu
offers a flambeed variation on some of their regular entrees.
Prepared and then set alight with a liqueur on a cart at your
table, these entrees include steak au poivre, veal scalloppine
marsala and roast duckling.
A flambe by a less-thamexpert waiter has its limitations.
The veal scalloppine marsala, while tender, was lacking in
marsala flavor. The duckling, partially prepared in the kit
chen, was overdone and a bit dry. Still, the orange sauce was
which is indeed silent as far
as dialogue goes, but features
a most aggressive musical
score. Brooks plays a down
and-out Hollywood director
who is trying to make a silent
movie. He gets people like
Anne Bancroft, Paul
Newman, Burt Reynolds and
James Caan to star in it. A lot
of slapstick. Marty Feldman
and Dom DeLuise also star.

Among entrees selected from the regular menu, the broiled
trout was nicely presented and flavorful, while the sauteed
calf's liver was moist, if a bit gristly.
The flambe was most successful with what our waiter called
the restaurant's best dessert: Bananas Foster, ripe bananas
in carmelized brown sugar flamed with banana liqueur and
served over ice cream. (Although a dinner companion insisted
that his dessert rice pudding was by far the highlight of
the meal.) Whether your• choice' is homey or haute cuisine,
both desserts are excellent. The cheese cake, however, was

Most of ihelondoner entrees range in price from $8 to $B.
The least expensive entree is chicken cacciatore, at $4.95; the
most expensive, an 18-oz. sirloin at $12.95. All entrees include
a potato (fries, baked or whipped), a vegetable and a geneious
salad.
The wine list 'is limited to a few imported selections at
moderate to high prices (average, $7 to $9 per bottle), thus
neglecting an inexpensive range of interesting American
wines.
A few small complaints: Orie of the two vegetables offered,
a "winter mix" of broccoli and cauliflower, was overcooked
(in good American style), the Italian and house salad

Hall and Oates. Their first
record, "Whole Oats," was
an acoustic set, with Hall
on the piano and Oates on
acoustic guitar. It was a
dismal flop. So was the
record review
Arif Mardin-produced
"Abandoned Lunch
eonette," although the
single "She's Gone" did
generate a little FM air
play. The electronic music
of the Todd Rundgren
produced "War Babies"
was a step in the wrong
direction. A change in
'labels didn't seem like the
answer either, until the
breakthrough of "Sara
Smile" thrust Hall & Oates
into the national limelight.
The album opens with the
funky "Back Together
Again," a song about the
comeback of an old face
who is "on everybody's
dial." But the highlight of
the song is the tasteful sax
fills provided by Tom Scott.
"Bigger Than Both Of
Us" is a pleasant album
which indicates 'that, after
much experimentation,
Hall & Oates have finally
found their niche. Perhaps
their next album will be the
blockbuster. -
