tommyB Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 or West St Live... I don't call £4.80 for a small glass 3/4 full of ice value for money. To suggest West St live does remotely good cocktails is laughable and, should you know a thing about drinks you would understand that, the less ice in your glass the quicker it melts and detracts from the drink. Plus the temperature is essential as you use it to balance flavours. Clearly you just want more booze, and I'm not sure you're the kind of customer they're looking for anyway, so you might as well drink in Wetherspoons. As for 23, I have drunk cocktails all over the world and they're not bad but recently have let themselves down with some poor drinks. I've never drunk at the Ivory so I can't comment on theirs.

nicolasg Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Are Sunday nights generally not that busy for resturants? We usually take our parents out on a Sunday and they like to go and eat somehwere nice, just recently more and more places seem to be closed on Sundays. I'm talking about early evening time, not Sunday lunch. Sunday evenings do seem to be fairly quiet due to the fact that so many people tend to go out for a large Sunday lunches rather then an evening meal.

mazclaz Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ahh, the assumption that vegetarians will be happy with lasagne!! Glad you got a top notch chef in to think up that one!! What was wrong with the last chef? I have eaten a few times and have to say the provision for vegetarians was a sight better. Do you cater for vegans at all?

The_Boy_Hoy Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 my old man used to say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" i must say Lasangne is a poor cop out for veggies, i suppose you will suggest one of the fish based meals next! i know someone who went a couple of nights back and said it wasn't as good as before, now i've checked this i will be teliing them why!! very disappointed.
