Review of The Bricklayers Arms

Great pub with great prices 
This is an awesome pub which get rather full on a Thursdays for some bizarre reason.
It could be the atmosphere, could be the location but personally it's the prices :>
Good Sam's Smith beer (no Fosters rubbish ) with no rubbish in it - v nice indeed :>

Review of Wild Honey

New restaurant with a good old tastes
I guess Mayfair restaurants all get tarnished with the same brush but when a place puts a cheese board at center stage then you really must be proud of the stuff you are doing rather than relying on reputation.
All dishes I had were of an excellent quality with enough flavor combinations to excite and interest - pig's head for instance sounds revolting but in reality was a terrine style block of tender meat, great stuff!
I've already mentioned the cheese board and I must say that with the desserts being rather iffy you're much better off going for a few more options from there opposed to going for sugar. (I had both but still - that's why I go to these places!!)
The drink menu is cool, one nice touch is the option to have a small carafe of wine so that you can try more than one and also, I guess save on those pennies. Also allows for more room for cocktails and champagne :>

Review of Private Shop

Great for getting your rocks off
This is a lovely shop run by a lovely old couple who you wouldn't think would be the type.
While they no longer have that much of an interest in the goods (viagra can only do so much it seems) they have a very good stock and, if required, can get most things you need if you give them notice.
The place doesn't smell like some of the inner city shops which is good and the curtain ensure privacy.
If you're a dirty perv or a curious enthusiast I don't think you can go too far wrong.

Review of Benares
31 Mar 08, 20:11
Indian food, but not as you know it
Benares is one of my favourite restaurants in London (though probably also one of the more expensive).
Taking English ingredients (with a large fish infulence) the chefs cook them to perrfection and offset their flavour with enough spice to sound like too much but taste like heaven. Your more standard Indian food is also available (such as Rogan Josh or Chicken Tikka) if you're not feeling adventurous - never had them but can't imagine they are bad!
A good place to go on a special occasion - curry and cocktails - can't beat it!!

Review of Tower Tandoori
03 Mar 08, 09:09
Dodgy road - but well worth the visit!
Very much a diamond in the rough (the extremely rough).
Sitting in amongst dodgy looking pubs, fried chicken shops and other such fun the restaurant stands out massively and once you get inside you feel like you could easily be much further up the road in Borough; but with far better prices :>
Alongside your normal curry house fair the specials are also well worth trying (and seem to change on a regular basis so are always good and seasonal).
With friendly staff who are clearly ecstatic to work there, great food and good prices the only downside is when you leave and you remember where you are!
