http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22466.htm Back To Basics Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating i really liked this restaurant, it was quite small and quaint, good decor and a good menu of freshly caught fish. food was delicious especially the bread we had to begin with, a medium sized toasted loaf between the 3 of us with 3 different types of butter - it was beautiful!! for main I had the smoked haddock which was very nice and very ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm The food is amazing!! AND the service was even better. Only problem was the size of the restaurant, even though we booked a table for four we sat next to a huge party and I had to breath in everytime someone tried to pass, which was quite hard given the portions of food I had just eaten. Our waitress was absolutely lovely and made really good ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm I've been here 4 times, and every time has been a treat. I've found the food to be fresh, and well cooked. The portions are a good size. The atmosphere is warm and bubbly. And the staff are slightly eccentric, but friendly. The menu can be slightly limited toward 9pm, with many dishes sold out, but I'd rather that they bought smaller ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm Disappointing - service was very slow and somewhay perfunctory despite the restaurant being only half full. Fish was overcooked. Expensive for what we had. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm Ate there this evening. Four people, seated outside on the pavement, no traffic at all really, so quite pleasant. I had the sea bass with ginger and spring onion, which turned out to be a very decent peice of fish, big portion, and done nicely. Other had the pollock and halibut, and there were no complaints. Service was fine, not particularly ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm I dined with my partner at Back to Basics last night and we have a very poor experience. We ordered a selection of smoked fish for starters. I ordered a Tuna steak on a salad of mixed beans and goat cheese and my partner a wing of skate. The starter was poor, dry and the mackerel fish seems like just from one of the Tesco's value packs. My Tuna ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm Had a group of 10 on a Saturday night. The Polish wait staff was a bit spotty at first, but once we had them engaged they were attentive and engaging as well. Food was fresh and as good as the prior reviews have mentioned. This restaurant is situated on a comparitively quiet street, and made for a good atmosphere both inside and out. We felt ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm Very full on the evening I was there, with only two waitresses serving. I had to wait 75 minutes to get my first drink, and 1hr 45min to get food. My codling was dry and not terribly nice, with cold mushy peas squashed under a huge glass pot of tartare sauce, and my friends calimari was rubbery and inedible. For the price I would expect a much ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm Went for the lunchtime menu, very pleasant service, great value, had a lovely herring and potato starter, though the prawns and couscous needed to be a bit livelier. The decor is fun, eclectic and different from the usual restaurants, overall a very enjoyable experience and will definitely go there in the evening sometime http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm Delightful - we wanted to sit outside when it was chucking it down with rain (don't ask) and they turned the heaters on for us without a grimace. £10 lunchtime menu really good value - great bread and flavoured butters - I had peel & eat prawns for started which came with a great jam, and had john dory with flageolet beans for main. ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/235.htm
