Is Jacques Bistro just brilliant?

Advantages: Fantastic food and great menu
Disadvantages: None

...where taken directly to our table as it was ready. The tables and chairs are all rustic wood style and does give the restaurant a nice cosy uniformed feel, the décor is welcoming with cream walls that are covered in lots of French prints and scripted writing on the walls also, not too much just one or two lines of writing around the pictures which really adds to the French Bistro feel. The floor is also wooden but not so polished that you would slip on shoes with no grip on them. We had an early booking for our meal, 5 pm as we where off the theatre that evening, having such an early booking we could take advantage of the Theatre menu that is available at a set price of £10.95 per person. For this you get a three course meal with a good choice available for each course. For our visit we had a good choice of starter, Soup of day...

Review of Bistro Jacques, Liverpool

Rick Stein's St. Petroc's Bistro

Advantages: Smart eating in friendly atmosphere
Disadvantages: Need to book well in advance and slow service

...Rick Steins St Petroc's Bistro - Cornwall Rick Stein and Padstow in Cornwall are synonymous with one another. He has four restaurants in the small harbour town and is probably responsible for there being many other excellent places to eat there. At the top of the tree is Stein's flagship: The Seafood Restaurant. Opened in 1975 this restaurant is the heart of the Stein empire. Next up is St. Petroc's Bistro, more accessibly priced with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. He also has Rick Stein's Café and Stein's Fish and Chips. If you enjoy eating out in good restaurants, and are in Cornwall, a trip to Padstow is a must. In addition to the restaurants, Stein also has a well stocked gift shop / deli on the habourside. St Petroc's Bistro is sited in an unpretentious building on New Street, a short walk from the harbour front. The white...

Review of St. Petroc's Bistro

Bistro 1, No 1 for value

Advantages: bargain prices, good location, nice food
Disadvantages: portions might be small for some people, mix up with our order

.... The décor seemed quite plain and understated and there are tables outside to sit and watch the world go by which would be lovely on a sunny summer day. I did find the tables quite packed together so there was not much room to move about. I am not sure if this would be good for a really intimate dinner as someone might easily overhear your sweet nothings. There was a bowl of tasty fresh seeded bread and yummy olives on the table ready for us to pick at before we settled down to eat proper. The good thing about Bistro 1 is that there are no ala carte menus. The set dinner menu is £8.90 for two courses and £9.90 for three. If you are in the area for lunch the prices are even lower. You can get two courses for £6.50 and three for £7.50. This is a bargain when you consider you can spend £3 or £4 on a sandwich. (There is a £2 supplement for four...

Review of Bistro 1, Covent Garden, London

Godot's Bistro, Chingford

Advantages: Pleasant atmosphere
Disadvantages: Service was disappointing.

...were clean, but the Ladies' only had one, cramped cubicle. I noted a couple of high chairs so presume they are obliging towards young customers also. I noticed as we came in that they also do Jacket potatoes, omelettes and other small dishes at lunchtime. Godot's Bistro 139, Station Rd, London, E4 6AG Tel: 020 8529 6235 Would I go back? Well, as a veggie, probably not for a while as I would not have anything else to eat, but generally the meal was good and I was not put off by the service. I rated the menu standard as good to reflect the fact that non-veggies would have a good choice....

Bistro Boogie!

Advantages: Great for birthdays and hen nights, price includes dancing on the tables
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive food and drinks

...Some time ago I was invited on a friend's hen night. With a sense of fear at the inevitable embarrassment that lay ahead I accepted, and resigned myself to an evening of ugly strippers cheap booze & and drunk middle aged women. What we got was entirely different....... Bistro L!ve advertises itself as "a unique new night-time entertainment venue probably best described as a Live music restaurant". The basic premise of the venue is that it offers a complete night out, where you can eat, drink and dance all under one roof. The night begins around 7:30 and ends at 1am (midnight at mid-week events). Generally the patrons tend to be in groups celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday, hen night or office night out. I understand that they do very well for Office Christmas Parties in particular. This didn't seem like the place you...

Review of Bistro L!ve, Leicester

A great set of rollers!

Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls!
Disadvantages: Still time consuming!

...I used these a few weeks ago at my friend's house and I was really impressed! When I go out to a wedding or a big occasion I like to spend some time getting ready and making my hair look nice. I have tried using curling tongs and GHDs to curl my hair but i'm always getting it uneven or burning myself or I get half way throguh and decide i'm fed up!! I went to my friend's house and used her roller set and I was really impressed with them! They heated up very quickly and were really easy to use. The box contains 20 rollers which are ceramic. They are in 3 different sizes which is dfferent to what I've used before as they only had two sizes. There are large, medium and small so you can get the right type of curl for the right part of your hair! They secure into place with the grips really easily which again is a bonus, it can be...

Review of John Lewis 3060JU Roller Set

Bistro to amaze

Advantages: Cosy with great service and food
Disadvantages: Can be a bit cramped at times

...a red wine sauce, it is really tender and full of flavour. Puddings are in the same price range as the starters and you’ve just got to have the Tart au Citron, so zingy and fresh its making my mouth water just thinking about it. We’ve been a few times and our valentine’s meal there was very special. The setting was very romantic and the staff very attentive but if you’re planning on going you must book up well in advance as something as good as this often fills up quickly. So if you fancy something intimate and French try Bistro Lyonnaise after all at only £30-35 a head you can’t go wrong. Check out their website for contact details and most of all enjoy. http://www.birmingham-alive.co.uk/birmingham-alive/Restaurants/Restaurants/bistro.htm...

Set of and grab a cop! (Set It Off)

Advantages: Raw emotion shown by the actors
Disadvantages: None for me

...~~~Set It Off~~~ This is one of the first films I watched with my fella when we were only 18, I cannot actually believe so many years have passed since it was first released in 1996 which is the year we watched it at the cinema. ~Synopsis: Four women have spent a lifetime struggling to get away from the mean street s of their tough neighbourhood. But the system stole their dreams, so they are determined to steal them back by targeting LA's most vulnerable banks. Flush with cash they look forward to building a future and escaping LA, but they soon learn that money can't solve their problems. ~My opinion: When I first watched this film, I have to admit I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. But I have to set the record straight this film was in my opinion outstanding. Don't get confused about the genre of the film, at first...

Review of Set It Off (DVD)

In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...
