Lam's Ware Rd A can of Stella sitting outside the front door is not an auspicious start! however the staff were very welcoming and attentive, coats taken ..although I do hate being asked what I'd like to drink within seconds of sitting down! There was a festive feeling with crackers and party poppers on the table (some would say naff.but a nice thought) The place is fairly small I'd liken it to Wayne Rooneys 3rd lounge(with bar) but clean. The menu is typical of many Chinese restaurants, no real surprises which is a shame. They offer an eat as much as you can menu for £18, you can order dishes 2 at a time.. much better than trays of food hanging about. We went for the main menu. The house white, Sauvignon Blanc was fine, went well with the food. The food was fine , starters of crispy duck and a lettuce meat dish(vastly inferior to the Thai version) were pleasant..a nice touch was the warm towels after the starter. Main courses were your usual fare, they were tasty and delivered briskly by the very pleasant waitress.I,d say it is a typical "local" sit down Chinese, friendly edible food..we paid @ £40(including wine ,2 tiger beers and coffee) A decent chinese for regular eating value 7/10 you get what you pay for..no complaints) enjoyment 7/10 (well anight out away from the kids for first time in 3 mnths =10/10) staff 9/10 lovely decor 6/10 Wayne Rooney toilets 5/10 clean and functional [:)]

mornin' all we went to the waterside last night - and i have to say we were pleasantly surprised... the environment was good, the service fantastic, and whilst the food doesn't steal the hillside's crown, it was a definate close runner. even though my steak (ordered medium -rare) was served well done, the waiters were extremely apologetic and very quickly served another, along with complimentary drinks and coffees. my only complaint would be that other than the set xmas menu, steaks were the only thing on offer... pricewise, not cheap, but not extortionate either... 2 bottles of wine, 2 main courses, 1 pud for 60 odd quid (including service).. and for one who boycotted the last restaurant that was there, i was very impressed and will return in the new year!!

Bosphorus Kebab's I was sober, only 2 pints of ESB at the White Horse. A fine kebab, freshly cooked chicken, plenty of salad with a touch of chilli sauce. It did the job, I really enyoyed it Food 8/10 cleanliness 9/10 staff were cleaning throughout my stay atmosphere 3/10 too early for entertaining arguing couples, and rather cold. Baroosh queue..long and not dressed for the weather "They'll catch their death"-Mum[;)]

Lussmanns Like a lunch in the evening. Staff :Friendly efficent Food: Quite good, enjoyable Wine: Expensive, our bottle of Petite Bourgois was excellent Decor: Probably similar to Ashley Coles Kitchen/Diner Toilets;Clean, nice handstuff Overall: nice which sums it up really, no more or no less..it lacks something, and the menu is very' Lunchtime' Cost Expensive(for me) wine, 2 beers St Peters Organic (V.Good),Coffee, Shared starter,burger, chicken salad(large) @ £50....nice

I personally think that Lussmans is excellent and does not pretend to be anything other than what it actually is, a grill restaraunt. I have eaten there now about 5 times and have enjoyed every single meal and the service has always been very good and friendly. Personally I have never thought of it as being expensive but I have always managed to get away with paying about £20 ph with a bottle of wine. The only bad thing I will say about it, is the lack of Chicken dishes, other than the salad and pasta.

If someone is interested in a particular restaurant they would not want to wade through a thread called "Restaurant Reviews" to find the one they might be looking for. It's about structure, organisation and accessibility. [:)]

Errrr..........dare I suggest that you should have mentioned that you had started a new thread specifically for restaurant reviews when you made your comment to Wingnut. It might have avoided the confusion. Anyways.......over now.
