Review of LEscargot
08 May 08, 15:38
Quality! 
L'Escargot is one of those reliable restaurants that is worth re-visiting when you've been to too many "trendy" restaurants, where style is prioritised over substance, quality and good old-fashioned service, far too many of which are open by the week in London.

Review of Fino
08 May 08, 15:33
Excellent!! 
This restaurant is fantastic! We had Pa amb tomaquet, toasted bread with tomato, garlic and fruity olive oil and bunuelos de bacalao, fluffy salt cod and potato balls that miraculously managed to reconcile being deep-fried with lack of greasiness. Staff is really really friendly and helpful!

Review of Misato
08 May 08, 15:24
Misato
Misato isn’t much to look at - it has an almost canteen-like appearance, with Barbie dolls arranged on the counter. However, the queue, which spills out on to the pavement, would suggest that there is a bit more to it. The menu offers a nice selection of classic Japanese dishes such as sushi, but the portion sizes are definitely western.

Myung Ga
The best thing of this restaurant is the atmosphere that is friendly and homely. It's not easy to find a restaurant that gives this feeling to the costumers. Food as good quality and the waiters are polite and friendly.

Review of Passione
08 May 08, 15:16
Passione 
It's a small restaurant and looks pleasant but nothing special - pale green walls with touches of terracotta, simple and fresh. Service is friendly and totally efficient. . Passione isn't cheap. But at least here you feel that every penny is going in the right place - in the best ingredients and the inspirational cooking.

Disappointed 
I was disappointed by Busaba Eathai. I found that the menu does not identify particularly dishes and I did't found the food so well cooked and tasty. The wine list is short.

Review of H K Diner

HK
HK Diner is a good place to start. The staff are friendly - they don’t actually look like they want to turf you out the minute that last bit of noodle is slurped off your chopstick - and there’s actually some banter going on between them which makes for a lively atmosphere.

Review of The Gaucho Grill
08 May 08, 14:48
Buzzing Atmosphere
The restaurant is often busy enough that you will need a reservation, although only occasionally so busy that you can't book on the day. The menu contains a very long list of South American wines. It's a great place with a buzzing atmosphere, good food and an extremely competent team.

Review of Chowki
08 May 08, 14:45
Communal Tables???? 
The food is good quality for the price so it does seem. However, I still couldn’t be persuaded by the communal tables (only choice in this restaurant), especially when you’re placed next to a large group having a party. I prefer to have my table in a restaurant without sharing my dinner with unknown people.

Review of Ten Ten Tei

Mix Sushi and Sashimi
The menu comprises a mix of sushi and sashimi, rice and noodle dishes, with a range of intriguing specials. We had the colourful platters of sushi we saw being carted to adjacent tables, a combination of glistening pieces of salmon, tuna, mackerel, salmon roe and prawn, as well as more unusual fish such as turbot, red snapper, cuttle fish and scallop.

Review of Parlour at Sketch
28 Apr 08, 13:24
Good Experience
I expected this place too snobbish and a bit boring because I didn't hear good reviews about it. I can say that my expectation wasn't right at all. This place is very nice, comfortable and friendly. I had a good service, waitress was so kind and polite, very attentive.

Review of Sakura

Good but Noisy
I have visited this Japanese restaurant and I enjoied the simple atmosphere and the good food. My friends and I ate sashimi and sushi that were good and fresh. The staff was nice and pleasant. The restaurant was quite busy and there were noise and a bit of confusion, this has been the only bad thing.

Review of Market Place Bar and Restaurant
22 Apr 08, 14:44
Bar
The Market Bar is a benchmark of Portobello Market, is a bohémien and usually quiet bar. During the days there are tourists and people who lives in this area. The atmosphere change in the evening when there are not tourists. During the evening the bar offers music (on friday and on saturday there's jazz music).

Review of Prince Charles Cinema
22 Apr 08, 14:31
Cinema
The Prince Charles is the cheapest cinema in the centre of London. This is not the right place for people who likes author movies. This place offers not just movies but famous musicals and live shows too (as The Sound of Music).

Review of White Horse
22 Apr 08, 14:12
Have a Beer
The White House is a welcome pub with heterogeneous costumers. This pub has a great food and on summer offers barbecue, friendly and welcome atmosphere. To drink you can choose from a wide range of beers (I think the Belgian Trappist is the best one). On every November the pub hosts the Old Ales Festival offering traditional beers.

Review of Hakkasan

Fashon Hakkasan
This is a very fashon restaurant, is a meeting place for celebrities and it boasts of a superb design, inviting cocktails and a very sophisticated Chinese food. The dishes are well decorated and food is exquisited. The restaurant has soffused lights that create a night atmosphere, I find it very romantic! Maybe the atmosphere is too formal and sometimes the staff is not so friendly.

Review of Lindsay House

Irish Food
The Irish food of this restaurant, cooked by Richard Corrigan, conquested me. The dishes are simple but square meal (just think about the sea-bass with pickle cabbage and oysters). The restaurant preserve the ancient atmosphere of the past (to enter you need to ring the bell!) and the furnitures are made by natural and colour materials.

Review of Ronnie Scotts Club
17 Apr 08, 15:12
Jazz Time
The unkindness of the staff at the entrance really annoyed me, I was changing my mind and i did't want to enter anymore but fortunatly my friends persuaded me to enter. This place is great! In this club played so famous jazz musicians and even now there are interesting artists. I really enjoyed the time that I spent here with my friends.

Go Back To Childhood
I was corious to see this place because I knew that this is the biggest toys shop of the world, for sure the most well recognized. I've never seen a shop like this before, it's amazing! There's every kind of games for every need and for every age. The shop consist in different floors. There's a floor that concerns with computer games, another floor for scientific games, one floor for preschool games, etc. What I liked most was the floor with the "Lego World"!!!!

Review of Chinese Experience

Chinese Taste
Simple but elegant Chinese restaurant that offers a wide set of regional dishes (Cantonese, Beijing, etc). Staff is polite and helpful, very friendly. Prices are not high. Usaully i'm skeptical about Chinese food but this restaurant changed my mind. It's the ideal place where to eat and stay comfortable.

Review of The Criterion Grill
17 Apr 08, 14:05
Good French Food
This is a characteristic restaurant because inside there are mirrors and many pendants, marbles and sparkle mosaics. Obviously the best thing is food. This restaurant offers french food and delicious dishes eas the saffron mussel soup or the " beef tartare". I advice to go to this restaurant in the late evening because it's always full of people.

Review of The Trocadero Centre

Trocadero Time
This is a fun gallery organised in six floors that offer expensive high-tech penny arcades for youg people, movie theatres, restaurants, bars and more. Personally I don't find this place so interesting but you can have fun and stay comfortable when it's raining outside! A nice place to spent some hours with friends.

Review of Yo Sushi
14 Apr 08, 14:35
...No! Sushi...
I didn't have a good experience in Yo! Sushi. The staff is friendly and polite but food is not so delicious. I'm not so sure that fish was fresh and the selection of dishes was not so varied. Anyway the restaurant is clean and tidy but I think I'll look for another sushi restaurant!

Review of Topshop

Temptation Temple
This is the biggest shop I've ever seen before (I'm from Italy!) and the first time I saw it I was shocked! Everytime there's something new, so many clothes, I would like to buy everything...Topshop is a real temptation temple! Usually there's a lot of people and this is the only thing that annoys me..but for women shoppers can endure this pain I'm sure!!!

Review of McDonalds

Clean McDonalds Please!
I use to go to McDonalds when I go to shopping with my friends and usually we enjoy our sandwiches, french fries, etc...but more than once we noticed that the dinner tables were not clean at all! And more, sometimes food is cold and fries are soggy! We know that lot of people choose this McDonalds and it's impossible to have a good service everyday, but soggy fries are terrible!!!!
