Fowllyd Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 The Olive Tree on Oxford Street is excellent. Not exactly Spanish or Italian, but there's a Mediterranean style to the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 Ennios is very very good, miles better than la margheritta. Itallian and seafood specialists i believe, the whitebait is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channon's Sideburns Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 La Pergola in Lyndhurst is nice if you fancy a stretch in the country... or Il Palio at Brockenhurst Station - best thing is you stumble out, straight to the station. Not on the line of course, for that would be silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonibell Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 What nationality were the belly dancers tonibell? I think they were Turkish the dark hair(one dark the other blonde) kept making rude gesture to me with her tougue and brought me a glass of wine.

Robsk II Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 La Pergola in Lyndhurst is nice if you fancy a stretch in the country... That's a pretty good place, seconded. It's all good, if a bit kitch in design - but very friendly, I've always had excellent service, the food is always good - but if you are a pudding person, you MUST go. They have an array of pretty stunning home-made stuff there all the time. Haven't been for a while, but I'm assuming this still applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintkiptanui Posted 14 February, 2010 Author Share Posted 14 February, 2010 Ha ha I bought it in Vienna, nice and warm. The meal was a bit of a let down and by 10.30pm the staff started cleaning all around us as we were the last to leave. The pianist in the hotel bar didn't even know OWTS. Pre-match rating 10/10. Post-match rating 5/10 (mainly for the bumper cars and winning an orange monkey on a coconut shy type thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 14 February, 2010 Share Posted 14 February, 2010 /\ Cheers mr k, hope you didn't tip? It is so short sighted when they do stuff like that. For example; reading your short report means that I will not even try them now, lose, lose in my book. That must have made you feel so welcome!!! I leave tips, but ONLY do nowadays when it is warranted. I am not an ar sehole, I just don't get why it is 'expected', and far too many people expect it over here nowadays. people quote how it is in other countries, but in other countries (in the main) staff give 'service' naturally meanoing people tip naturally. btw, we went to the Jewel in The Crown last night, 12 of us. A decent meal, inconspicuous service and we ate and drank and chatted through 3 couples on the adjoining table. At no point did we feel rushed. Decent tips followed as will future custom. ..and now have told you, they may even get more custom from our visit. Too many establishments make do imho and foolishly forget that reputations canb take years to create and can be ruined in one night. We should have a SWF 'what's on' 'eating out' and 'best pubs' forum. Baj and Steve could even sell advertising praps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
