8 July 2007
I had a superlative seafood linguine at Black Cherry yesterday. The prawns were the size of my head (well not quite) and the pasta was liberally scattered with fresh clams & mussels. It was all tossed in a light cream, chilly, parsley & garlic sauce. It was also not too salty, which is a complaint I usually have with the food there. The new menu looks good and I'll definitely be back for more pasta. I must add that the service was also excellent. An all-round good visit.
We went to the Bishop on 1st July to celebrate the advent of non-smoking in public places in England. Sadly, things were not so smooth there. Our food took 45 mins to arrive and when we enquired about it, they said that the kitchen was very busy and we would just have to wait (which we were already doing, fairly patiently, I thought). It was heaving in there, but nonetheless... Anyway, the food was tasty but a tad on the tepid side when it arrived.
The Seacow has not been so heaving as it has wont to be in the past. I suspect this is because the standard of the cooking has been drifting steadily downhill. Either nobody has been filling in the comments cards at the till or they just haven't been paying attention.
I am glad to report that Buddha Jazz has started opening during the day and are offering a discount on food between the hours of 12 and 3. The service there is always superb and food always tasty and consistent, as it was when we went two days ago. The menu has also expanded and includes venison and other culinary delights.
