restaurant shout-out

[brightlywoven]

Before heading to the OULES panto on Thursday - more puns that you could possibly imagine - our pre-panto dinner plans hit a snag, when we found Balliol hall closed. We decided to try Wagamama (noodle bar off Cornmarket) instead. Since we were now in something of a rush, we checked the meals should take about 10 minutes to arrived, and ordered. 25 minutes later, mine was yet to materialise, and I was getting edgy.

After explaining the situation to one of the waiting people (including the fact we had tried to ascertain this beforehand), she was very apologetic. 2 minutes later dinner (a coconut, lime, chilli and noodle soup) arrived. (exactlyhalf had had to leave by this point to set up a projector for Taruith) It was utterly delicious - full of fresh herbs and vegetables, but sadly I had to rush it. I went to pay, only to find my half of the dinner (which would have been good value at the listed £8) had been comped.

So I thought I should give the place a public recommendation. Not perhaps a place to choose if you are in a screaming hurry, but delicious and reasonably priced food, with quite nice managey people.

Mmm.. Wagamamas! A bunch of us went there after narahttbbs submitted.. osymandias seemed unimpressed (mostly because of the serving people, I think), but still I really like the place (mostly on the grounds of yumminess). When we were in Exeter just before Tintagel over the summer, I'd managed to convert e_pepys and shanith to the joys of the Wagamama there.. that coconutty soup stuff is just so much better than anything you'll get at the NoodleBar place! :-)

What does comped mean?
