Surprising Secret Place
John Lewis Basement - Blue Water - They have a small tapas and wine bar. Only four dishes to choose from but you select three types of bread from about wight to go with it. If you're lucky and they are quiet (late night shopping nights) you'll get pklastered on the free wine tasting. Lovely food for about £7 and often free wine. All in the corner of what is in effect a Waitrose. Limited choice of options, superb quality food, stunning bread. 7.5/10

Fair comment each to their own the two times I've been to Brio I was not that impressed.
La Galleria is good as well in Shoreham - Mrs Huts favourite restaurant.

indeed each to their own, la galleria was literally unedible! maybe it was an off day. i tried the new place a few doors along the other week from la galleria the other week the one that used to be the coke heads bar, it was very good and the service was brilliant. had a lovely chowder followed by roasted vegetables on seafood. delicious.
Giraffe in brighton, only thing i try there is the mexican breakfast which is superb. cant really comment on the rest of the menu.
el mexicano next to the theatre royal has always been pretty authentic mexican clobber and their mole is very good. just dont have a starter as the mains are very filling.
el taco on western road is the bollocks for late night grub. proper tacos there as if you on a street stall in mexico city.
can you tell i like my mexican

Is Sam's of Brighton/SevenDials still doing good food? I have been a couple of times but not in ages. Had some lovely game a few years back. I know his Sevendials place has had a revamp/relaunch recently. Is it all still good?

Good call. I find good Mexican food difficult to come by, and without the attendant office party scrambling over nachos and eating that well known Mexican delicacy Death By Chocolate Cake (suffixed with !!!).
I've often walked past El Taco, I shall give it a whirl next time.

Sams at 7Dials,had a decent meal recently,they used to advertise meals for £21 but 3 course meal with wine came in at £85 for two which is rather high for a restaurant away from the centre of town.

Bit disappointed with it. Ordered Bread platter for starters, all the bread was a bit stale - bit of a waste of money even for £3. Rest was OK, but didnt stand out, the fish cakes were good though, wish I had that. 6.0
Quaglino, Mayfair, London
Over hyped I think. Meant to be a 1930s theme, was nothing like it. Waitresses were good and helpful, and knew the menu inside out. Starters a disappointment, but the main was good. Dessert was the best bit, had the Eton Mess, but far too much cream, so couldnt finish it. Drinks were very pricey. Live music was good in the bar upstairs, but they cram too many people in 6.5

Yep, I went there last week although being veggie I didn't have steak. I shared a pizza and some wedges. I wish I went for a burger though, they looked incredible.
Good news. Service, price, etc. alright?
Is the experience a bit like what eating at Old Orleans used to be? E.g. is it a bar with a restaurant, or a restaurant with a bar?
Also, I've never been there before, will it be too ROWDY for my 80 year old GRANDAD at 8pm on a Friday?
Cheers.

Very reasonable prices really for the amount of food you get. I went there at 8ish on a Saturday night and it wasn't rowdy at all, I think the fact that you can't order drinks at the bar probably helps.

El Taco's easily the best takeaway on Western Road. Very filling and they do one of them cards you get stamps on, so your get your tenth meal free. El Mexicano is the best sit-down Mexican, although Dig In The Ribs is bearable too. For pub grub, I recommend the Constant Service in Hanover. Loads of different pies and mash, as well as other things, menu designed (the graphic design not the recipes) by me, and they've been picking up loads of plaudits in the listings mags in recent weeks, with more than one mag calling them the best pies in town.
