Kate Spicer reviews

Sunday, October 05, 2008 - I arrived alone, and the restaurant was empty, so I wanted to sit at the back, where an open table in front of the kitchen would have made me feel a little less solo. It was warm and a bit scruffy and unfinished back there, reminding me of Cal Pep, the Barcelona tapas bar and restaurant that everyone blatantly imitates when opening a decent tapas place outside Spain.

Sunday, April 20, 2008 - Eaves’s cooking is baby’s first haute cuisine, informal entry-level fine dining at prices that aren’t much higher than a decent gastropub. This is lovely food without any ball-busting service or twiddly napery; if they can chill out the atmosphere a bit more, L’Autre Pied would service that need for relaxed restaurants where you can eat grown-up food.
