Review of Upstairs Bar and Restaurant
07 Nov 07, 12:41
Possibly my favourite London restaurant 
I have to agree with both the reviews above, this place is wonderful. The decor is beautiful and simple - I love their brown and turquoise paisley wallpaper, which I promise is better than it sounds.
It is tiny upstairs, but then that's what you'd expect from a converted terrace flat.
The food is always from a set menu, with three choices for starters, mains and desserts; there's usually a couple of specials too. I can't remember exactly but its about £20 for two courses, and £25 for three. Something like that.
I had pumpkin soup, followed by duck breast with red cabbage then hot chocolate pudding to finish. Yum yum! it's all seasonal French food, so the menu changes very regularly.
Oh and the service is great. x

Review of Taylor Taylor London

Wonderful place
This Cheshire St branch of Taylor Taylor is slightly less theatrical in looks than its Commercial St partner, but is still wonderful. Its small and cosy, with a very cute disco/art deco look to it.
The staff are great, especially Oscar. You always get a drink as soon as you walk in - very often some snazzy champagne cocktail! The hairdressers are always honest and will actually talk through what will and won't work with your hair. A work contact actually span me round after a haircut there telling me how his mother was a hairdresser and he could see a good haircut a mile off, then spent the next ten minutes saying how much he loved my new cut!
If you're after a big Hollywood experience then go the Commercial St branch - its got everything from 20 ft chandeliers through to a completely gold tiled underground hairwashing room (i'm sure there's a proper word for that). x
