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.

would like to try there and meatliquor, but there's fuck all chance I'm queuing. last thing i'd want to do.

fuck are you on about, i stated a rough time

it was warm out and catching up with a mate over a couple beers beforehand wasn't too bad. i'd assume when the weather is warmer the wait gets longer (no einstein) . wouldn't wait that long for it again

wasnt being rude! you said about sitting downstairs, didnt know if it was different on the ground floor or still same menu etc and didnt know if the hour queue was actually meant as it came across, ie not a bad time to wait for there.

oh, sorry. we were offered seats by the window after 30-40 min, decided to wait for downstairs. it's the same menu, but no people waiting in the bar bustling around.

9 courses including veal, lamb, halibut, 4 cocktails and a bottle of wine for 170. Damn good value.
Really good vibe and not poncey at all considering the reviews.
Tried to book it for someone's bday in September but next booking is february
nigella and saatchi sat a few tables away
