What Restaurant did you eat at last night?

[rodders]

Luciano's in Warsash, pizza base a bit burnt though!
Overall ok, price not too bad for the four of us. Would probably go again at some point.

The best compliment I can give Hawksmoor was it was good honest food, cooked extremely well.

But most importantly, did you get a Shaky Pete to start?

Not saying Dishoom is bad, just not as authentic.

I like the food and vibe at the London Dishoom's I've been to but I can't stand their faux-queuing system. I used to walk past the Covent Garden one every evening and there was always a queue of 30+ people outside. I've been before, been told to wait, and got into a half-empty restaurant. I've also been at totally random times like 4pm on a Sunday and told there was a 40mins wait They definitely engineer the queue to make them seem more popular.

Had lunch at Alchemilla last week for our anniversary.

It was very good. I can't help but compare it to Sat Bains though and it just isn't as good. Which is perhaps unfair as Alchemilla is very good, but the overall experience, service, ambience, flavours and everything is just that notch better at SB, and there's not a huge amount of difference in price.
