Had a great/good/indifferent/downright awful meal at a restaurant, then please add it in here and describe what you had, value for money, ambience and quality of the grub etc. (if you can get a pic of the place or nick the menu to show on here than all the bettter)
doesnt matter where it is, if you liked it or hated it, then tell us all.
please no b.k, maccydees, k.f.c or nandos.....cos contrary to popular opinion on here, these are not fine dining nor proper restaraunts.

to start the thread off, here is the 2009 top 50 places to eat in the world this year, anonced this week.
suprisingly 'the fat duck' retains its second place even after making hundreds of people viloently ill and having to shut for nearly a month.

not terrible, might give it a go. Was gonna try that secret restaurant but it's £75 a head without drinks and it could be awful!

The entertainment is really only 5 or 10 mins at a time and there's only 3 acts so it's not the focus of the night, but the food is good enough anyway and I wouldn't want any more singing and dancing than that.

Went to Moro in exmouth market last night - http://www.moro.co.uk had tapas to start which I wasn't blown away by, chicken and chick pea for main which was very nice, lots of flavour would never normally have chicken at a restaurant but would recommend it. Other people had the whole bream which was also good.

Just because I think it's pretty easy to cook and for that reason I eat it a lot at home, prefer to try other things when I'm out

Went to Circus this week too after Mistake's recommendation. Loved it, had the fillet & garlic gratin like Ruben. Lobster dumplings, rock shrimp tempura, chilli salt squid tempura & edamame beans to start, then the white chocolate & ginger cheesecake for desert. All beautiful.

Reasonable too at just over 200 with a bottle of champagne & a couple of cocktails Cool
