Shack RestaurantPosted on 17 October 2009
This was my first visit to this restaurant. We chose it due to the Early Bird menu. We had the house salad as starter and it had a nice dressing and quite good. Most of us had the steak. It was cooked as required, however the quality of meat wasn't up to scratch. We accepted this, due to the great value of 3 course meal for 16 euro. The dessert of profiterole was delicious!!
Our waiter was witty and did a great job. Someone in our group was running late, but he offered to wait even though we ran over a bit over the early bird offering time. He was very attentive.
We had a little problem with the bill, when they overcharged us for the wine. We asked for the house wine but they brought us another wine and charged us therefore more. They were a bit disgruntled when we complaint, but corrected the bill.
Overall, food was ok, but what do you expect for 16 euro?
Additionally, when we arrived there was a big group of young men whistling and making comments at us. The waitress showing us to our table ensured that we got the furthest table away from them.

Gotham CafePosted on 17 October 2009
Went there for the first time with a group of 10. Most of us availed of the early bird offer, which was a good offer. The Antipasti Starter was very good, although I've had better houmous. Pizza was very good with a thin crispy base, just the way it's supposed to be. My friends were happy with their salads. Someone said the Curry was very spicy, but good.
We were highly disappointed with our waitress. Although the food was delivered fast, our waitress spoiled the experience. E.g. she asked at one end of the table if we'd like wine and when the group discussed this she just walked away after 10sec without coming back. She did the same again when it came to the dessert. It's the least tip I've ever given. She could have made up her lack of waiting skill with a bit of charm. It's a shame, because great service can make up for a lot of things. I would go back though, but make sure that I sit somewhere where she doesn't serve, as the other waiters seemed much more attentive.
