Review of The International
17 Apr 08, 14:24
good lunch 
The lunch deal that they've been doing is good. But like all restuarants who seem to put this deal on they don't think through the fact that they need to have enough staff to cater for the lunchtime crowd. We went in a big group and they totally lost the notion of service. Food came out at different times and 1 dish didn't even arrive. It's also quite good as a late place to drink although the door man made out we were entering the most exclusive place in London...whcih we definitely were not! If you're in the area and need a late drink pop in. Don't go out of your way to visit.

Review of Lost Society
17 Apr 08, 14:20
Great place, great food, great bar 
The Lost Socisty has really thought about who they want to attract. It's just off the "right side" of Clapham but it's worth making the effort to get to it because the atmosphere is so good. The staff are really friendly and make you feel that you're going to have a really good night. The food is really good too....great roasts on a Sunday. It is a bit pricey but worth it for a special occasion. There's a courtyard for smokers so you're not stood infornt of the bar. Well worth a visit

Review of Tsunami

Special occasion dining
The food here is amazing. If you go you have try the Black Cod and the Aubergine. It is expensive but well worth it. You don't have to trek all the way up to London to go to Nobu. The food is just as good and the atmosphere is alot more relaxed. The decor is slightly date but the location is tucked away and the service was really really friendly. If you are out celebrating an anniversary then this is the place for you. Make sure you book well in advance thought. They are normally always full

Review of Gabys Deli
17 Apr 08, 14:08
Great healthy food, great price 
I love this place. The food is fresh, tasty and good for you. What more could you want? They've obviously been there for years and are well established. The best part about it is it's great value for money. That said it's slightly more expensive to sit down and have lunch but the take away boxes are great value. Well worth a visit. Their falafels are to die for!

Review of The Electric Bird Cage
17 Apr 08, 13:58
Great value for money at lunch
What an unusual place. It's really quirky deco really adds to the atmopshere of your visit. Add this to the execptional offer that they do at lunchtimes (it's dim sum...after you've had three dishers you can order as much as you want) We all rolled out of there extremelt happy. I would say that the service was very slow though (only in that they didn't have many staff on) but when they did serve us it was good. Well worth a visit (but maybe check that they are still doing the offer) Even if they aren't the food is great

Review of Oxo Tower Wharf
17 Apr 08, 13:54
Great romantic setting
Regardless of the food the setting of the restuarant is amazing. Overlooking the southbank the views from the dining area are amazing. If you time it well and get there in the summer when the sun's setting you see the whole of London with red skies. But the great news is that the food is great too. The waiters are always good too. it is expensive but well worth it for a special treat.

Review of Thames Ditton Lawn Tennis Club
16 Apr 08, 23:09
great venue for private party
The tennis club has a great community feel about it. In the heart of thames ditton its grass courts look amazing. They have a small member's pub that they open on Sat and Sundays. But also it's a good place to consider when thinking about a venue for a private party. We held my mum's 60th birthdat there and had a great time. There's plenty of parking and the setting was perfect when the sun was setting.

Review of Maple Antiques
16 Apr 08, 22:28
Great stuff but over priced 
The cheeky chappy that owns this shop has got style. He's got some really nice stuff but you do wonder if he's too over priced. He also made a real point of telling us how we could get the stuff off ebay. Saying that if you ask him to look out for stuff he will. You just need to negotiate hard with him. Worth a visit for chappy chic furniture

Review of French Table
16 Apr 08, 22:18
Fantastic romantic restaurant
If you are looking for a romantic night out this is the place for you. The food is of excellent quality. The service is amazing. You'll have to book early though as it is often full weeks in advance. You might get a table through cancellation so it's worth calling. They have 2 sittings so be aware that if you go to the early one you'll be rushed. The good thing is is that Rubicon is a few doors down so you can always pop in there for a few cocktails

Review of Piglets Playcentre
16 Apr 08, 21:25
Great play centre - new and clean
This is a really really good play centre for toddlers. It's a recent development run by a mum who realised there was a gap in the market. The interior is really well done. It feels spacious and clean. The indoor frame is great. Not too big but enough to keep the kids occupied. The best bit is they have outside area too. With farm animals (pigs, gens, rabbits that you can pet) and they give you food so you can feed the goats etc. I really relaxed atmosphere. A great place if you want to hire it for a kids party. Ther food is really good (they cater with finger sandwiches and carrots, cucumber etc) I'd really recommend a visit.
