EALING, ISLEWORTH, WEST LONDON ... SHALL WE MEET UP AGAIN?

[MrsBigD]

o.k. I'm bored at work so thought I'll start another threat trying to organise gettogethers :)

With or without kids... I'm game

The latest Ealing thread was considering a zoo visit of some sort when it gets a bit warmer... and now it's gone and gotten colder!

A woman's perogative Uwila!

But I'm sticking to mine - quite like it.

Can I be MrsBoopert?

go on then

Uwila did you manage to defend your steak from MrsRecycle?

I didn't get the chance - she wafted it down!

Eh? Wafted?

You've hurt my feeling. sniff sniff

Well we had to waft them down before they turned freezing cold! Oh and thanks for the diary; it's sitting on my desk now - reminding me of the things I have to do.

Yeah, have to say that didn't make my list of top ten restaurants.

Where did you go again yesterday?

Smollensky's in Richmond.

Oh one of those trendy places ;)

No. Definitely not. The services was most certainly not up to snuff. Steak was cold. So were chips. And my orange juice wasn't fresh.

Oh well... Old Orleans here we come.

Yeah agree Uwila - maybe 1986 prices meant 1986 standards - not that I was around to remember them

you weren't? You spring chicken you!
Unicorn please come on 23rd otherwise I'll feel like the grandma of the lot! LOL

he hem! I think MrsRecycle is fibbing. I was around then and so was she. And I'm quite sure the standards were higher. Smollensky's is actually a quite nice steak house in Chicago. So that's what I was expecting. Didn't get it.

And my pet peev is dark restaurants. I like to see. So the dim lights didn't score very well with me either.

Oh Uwila - you've blown my cover. Yes I was 21 then and have been for the past 20 years . Don't worry MrsBigD - I'm probably the Grandma of us all.

Ah there's your problem Uwila... good steak ... in this country?

I love restaurants in the US... lots of good food for little prices

The funny thing is that this place says it's American. Ha! Left the good customer service in America.

Oh I miss it. I want to go home soooooo bad. But, just for a visit (and a nice piece of steak).

Mmmmmm steak......
Has anyone been to Browns in Richmond? Wondering what its like.
Sil says its nice but her version of nice and mine are a tad different....

Kew Grill (on Kew Green) does a decent steak (but it'll cost you!)

having said that, it didn't cost more than I expected for a good restaurant in that area

Must say, went to Kew Grill after ice skating. In the worst state of morning (all day) sickness. Can't say i enjoyed it but looked very nice. Am going to try again once little man is here....

Has anyone had Stinking Bishop? Just a thought....

Hi ladies... totally forgot... dh is away on a course week of 23/3 so can't come out to play as I've got the kids.

Well I guess I'll schedule my first book party for that day, at least that way a few peop might come visit me :)

Can I jump in??
If you lot were snarfing cold steaks at Smollensky's in Richmond the other night, you were just a couple blocks from my flat.
Haven't been to Brown's. Haven't been out much generally. Which is why I'm glad to have finally found mumsnet. But have been to Pizzeria Rustica, and it's actually pretty good. Food good, prices okay, the service is pretty good by UK standards, atmosphere convivial. (the Pizza Express in Richmond, by comparison, is about as relaxing as a funeral parlor, for reasons that remain unclear. I mean, it's a pizza place.)

Hey MrsRecycle -- I think we're almost exactly the same age, Grandma . So don't natter on about feeling too old, or my bowels will get cranky.

I'm going to be out of town between March 25 and Apr 3, but would like to meet up at some point if anyone will have me. (you still interested, uwila? I mean, MrsUwila...)

YUP... well have you
