Review of The Collection

19 Apr 08, 11:11

Pretty Dull 2*

Another place that has a good reputation that when you actually go there it's really a bit crap.

Very over priced, not particularly interesting people, and it feels like a church when it's not busy.

One of those places that people talk about, but they are not really sure why. I would really avoid it during the Christmas period as a lot of the local Estate Agents have their Christmas parties there - grotty!

Review of Cactus Blue

19 Apr 08, 11:09

Pervy Men & Expensive Drinks 1*

I agree with Lucy the men in here are stomach churning.

I don't really rate the cocktails and it's really expensive. I think it has a bit of a reputation for being a good place in Chelsea to hang out, but I don't really see why. I think it was made famous by that ridiculous man James Hewitt being caught doing Coke in the loos.

I wouldn't bother.

Review of Carluccios

19 Apr 08, 11:06

Standard Italian Chain 2*

Carluccio's is fine for a coffee or a quick bite to eat. Being that it's part of a large chain, it does lack any unique or unusual qualities. The food is bog standard Italian Fair, with a deli counter and shop in most branches.

Good place to go if you are visiting someone in Chelsea & Westminster hospital and they feel like a prison break.

Not as busy as the one in South Kensington.

Review of The Duke of Clarence

Generic 2*

Like many of the pubs in this chain Jeronimo Inns - they also own the Builders Arms, Harwood and East Hill, they are perfectly acceptable, but nothing new or particularly special.

They don't offer anything new but the food is good, the service friendly and reasonably priced.

Review of The Anglesea Arms

16 Apr 08, 17:14

Good food, good times 4*

Famous pub in South Ken, full of pink shirts and loafers, but inoffensive ones!

Does what it says on the tin, good selection of European Beers with good pub grub.

Can't go wrong really.

Review of Sophies Steakhouse Bar

16 Apr 08, 17:13

Best Steak in London 5*

The amount of drunken girls lunches I've had in here - it's truly and awesome place.

The food is fantastic, great menu with good British grub, from steaks to fish pie, or burgers.

Only down side you can't book a table, best to turn up early and sit by the bar drinking gin and tonic waiting for a table to come free.

Review of Rosso Pomodoro

16 Apr 08, 17:11

Yummy pre cinema stop 5*

Great place to grab a bite before you go to the cinema up the road.

Not too expensive, very vibrant and fun, plus they churn you out quickly which is ideal if you are wanting to rush to the movies.

Good staff, usually easy to get a table.

Review of The Goat In Boots

16 Apr 08, 17:09

Bit of a let down 2*

This used to be a great pub about 5 years ago, it's now full of a strange mixture of people that don't seem to blend at all.

I'm not even sure if they do food, but the beer is very expensive the toilets are always broken and it strikes me as being really dirty.

Useful if you are about to head into the cinema and you fancy a quick drink before hand - but that's about it.
