restaurant review in bullet points
Jun. 19th, 2009 12:41 am Jamie's Italian
The good
- Chilli and prawn linguine (nommmm)
- Fat polenta chips with rosemary and sea salt
- Fun pseudo-industrial aesthetic
- Barman who knew how to make a Lemon Lime and Bitters.
The amusing
- The overapplication of adjectives on the menu. (Funky chips? Really? Funky? Also, shared plates come on 'planks'. )
- The fact there are *two* queues - the queue out the front of the restaurant is actually a preliminary to joining the queue at the bar. Oh you crazy kids
The improvable
- Actually, everything was pretty nice, and quite reasonably priced. Which didn't prevent us from sitting on the finalist who tried to pay for our meals.
Bed now.
