High School Musical 
You may feel a little like you are entering the green room for High School Musical when you come in here... Always very popular so best to book if you've got a high number of people, but the staff are always REALLY friendly (eyes and teeth!) and have been taught loads of psychological stuff like crouching down as they talk to you so they're on your eye level... sounds weird but I think it's about the whole making you feel welcome thing. My friend used to work in one and it's amazing how much time the management invest in its staff and training them how to serve the best etc. It works though, they are by far the most friendly staff. They do amazing cocktails in here and puddings. At lunch you can have a two course lunch for £9.99 which isn't bad! (They've got very annoying radio adverts with a woman with a false American accent talking about it....) Ideal for lunch or dinner and perfect for parties

Review of Zizzi
29 Apr 08, 09:27
HUGE restaurant
Zizzi is a chain of traditional pizza and pasta restaurants - all pizzas are cooked in a wood burning oven and taste amazing. I've been here a couple of times. It's a HUGE restaurant, really light and airy. The staff always seemed very efficient, particularly as I was in a very large group of people. It's a great place for lunch and dinner. You don't feel at all crammed in and so it's a very relaxing experience. They've got two of these in MK now but I went to the one in the Theatre District. They do takeaway, lots of vegetarian foods and you can expect to pay around £25 for two people. Worth a visit!

Review of The Moon Under Water
24 Apr 08, 10:00
Hmmmmmm - bit busy 
This place gets REALLY busy on a Friday and Saturday night, but I'm not quite sure why. I guess the drinks are really cheap so people tend to start the night off there. It's pretty average... not worth a special visit for

Review of Milton Keynes Theatre
23 Apr 08, 20:31
Love it 
Awwww I went to the opera here about a year ago (not my choice...) and have been to see a few shows. It's really impressive inside - spacious with plenty of room to sit. You will come across a fair few snobs who tell you off for sneezing (well, if you're going to the opera) but it's definitely a great place to see shows. They had whatshisface from Corrie in the panto at Christmas, Bradley Walsh, that's the one... so it attracts some fairly big names too

Review of Oceana
23 Apr 08, 11:51
HUGE selection
I'm not a massive clubber myself, but Oceana is amazing. Some of the people are quite grim and watch out for the 'boudoir' section post midnight when all the dry-humpers think it's really sexy to get it on infront of a room full of people. Tasteful! But other than that there's loads of choice for everyone. The Japanese bar is great to go and chill in if you've had enough of the Ice Room... plus the disco room is fun and plays loads of cheesey stuff. Not much room to dance though so you may find your face in many an armpit. Nice.

Review of Lloyds No. 1 Bar
23 Apr 08, 11:48
Pretty average 
I'm not a massive fan of Lloyds - it's OK but definitely not the place to go if you actually want to have a chat with someone. Plus last time I went, the girls seemed to have difficulty in grasping the concept of wearing clothing. One girl decided to wear a TINY white mini skirt with no underwear which fully rode up as she danced - the bar got to see everything. She wasn't the only girl so keen to flash the flesh, so if you fancy a bit of a perve, then I think you'll like it. As bars go in MK it's pretty average but certainly not worth heading out to for a whole evening...

Review of La Tasca
22 Apr 08, 11:44
Great food - great atmosphere
I've been here quite a few times and it never fails to impress. The decor is gorgeous and I love the Spanish Music. It's really nice for lunch as they do great Tapas or for an evening meal - very romantic but not too expensive if you're thinking of treating someone!

Review of Xscape Centre
19 Apr 08, 11:57
LOADS to do
Xscape is an awesome place for shopping, eating, cinema, or snowboarding... It has great quirky shops (although bit pricey for the likes of me) La Tasca there is GORGEOUS along with ASK. You can literally spend a day there and have plenty to do. Then at night you've got all the bars, of which there are loads. They also have live music in the bowling bit where all the bars and arcades are. Pre 6pm parking is expensive though!
