I guess some people just don't "get" it.

Yup, that's me. I love my food but I couldn't pay tons of money for a meal, even if I did have the money, it's just not worth it for me. I could enjoy the food at a reasonably priced restaurant and still have as good a night. I also just wouldn't feel comfortable in such an expensive place, it's not my scene at all.

Also, most of the stuff on that menu, I have no idea what it is! And, as I'm a fussy bugger, that would put me off eating a lot of it.

Glad you and the missus enjoyed it OP

I'm similar to Dogma in that I'm a fairly fussy eater. Although I'll try most things now, I still think most things on the menu just don't sound that appealing to me. I'd also feel uncomfortable in those surroundings but that's more my problem than anything else. I guess you could equate it to some feeling uneasy in a rough and ready pub or area whereas it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Glad you had a nice night though DL. I guess at the end of the day, even if it's not something you'd do again or think it's worth the money, it's another life experience

Whilst I would possibly enjoy trying the food, I wouldn't like the atmosphere - as it is I don't like "smart" restaurants and much rather places where I can get away with neat trousers/jeans and a tshirt. Getting all dressed up just isn't my thing and I'd feel out of place.

One hell of a birthday treat though

If I had the money to eat at posh restaurants I would absolutely love to go!!

Maybe if I drop some hints Jingo will take me for a special occasion too....

This just isn't the case at a good restaurant. The one I Posted a few posts up I wear jeans an a shirt to. I hate dressing up and going to such events. I don't feel out of place at all.

Table for 3 dear? I promise to pour wine all evening

Jingo · 10-11-2009, 22:45

Knips my dear, you know very well if there is a table with some wine on it that you and PG will be there slurping away!

Therefore, I duely accept your invitation!

Sounds awesome and I like the sound of the menu. I totally know where you're coming from with a lot of expensive restaurants not actually being very good. My area is a bit like that, they all talk the talk but the food ends up being disappointing. There's a Michelin star awarded place locally (Chapter One) but I'm so so skeptical based on all the other restaurants in the area.

I've been the chapter 2 which wasn't bad, but over priced for what it was.
