A meal in Criterion Restaurant

I had a great week last week...even better considering it was topped off by a meal at Marco Pieere White's Criterion Restaurant.

Located smack bang in the middle of Piccadilly Circus (next to Lillywhites) the place was buzzing!

A great looking eatery, fantastic long restaurant, great decoration and some cracking music too!

I had Sardines to start with followed by a ribeye steak (on the menu as "Ribeye of Aberdeen Angus à la forestière") - the forestière basically means it has mushrooms on top. It was amazing! - really, really good.

For desert i had a a wicked choicalate thing...can't remember exactly what but it was awesome...the wine had started to effect!!

It was a cracking meal and was very reasonably priced too. Halfway through Esta Ransen walked in (a list or z list i'm not sure but hey!)

The only let down was the waitress...i'm sure that employing French nationals is a great marketing ploy by these restaurants to build the atmosphere and the genre of the establishment, however i would think it reasonable to ensure they speak English!

This waitress was unsure of the number of puddings i ordered - apparently 2 until i clarified that just one was enough! Not to mention that she coughed right over my table without covering her mouth!

Apart from the waitress it was a brilliant evening and i would definately make another visit to Criterion Restaurant.

Off the subject of this restaurant i found this website that i bought a fridge freezer from. The most useful bit for me was the "how to choose" section...thanks fridge freezer guide!
