Don't, Look, Down...
I wouldn't normally blog about restaurant's we've been to (Beach Blanket Babylon didn't even make it to these pages) but on Friday we went somewhere that warrants a review.We went to Rhodes Twenty Four in Tower 42 (the old Nat West building) and the food was excellent. We met up with Suzanne and Pete and started with champers at Vertigo on the 42nd floor. The views from here are stunning. I obviously get to see decent views from Canary Wharf tower on a regular basis but being smack in the middle of the city you get great views over the surrounding area and the west end. We then went to the restaurant bar for more drinks and cocktails, on 24 of course, and watched the dying sun paint wonderous colours across the city skyline.
We were served Gazpacho soup and then I had the assorted scallops to start. Debs had the Lobster omelette and next time we go back, though my starter was excellent, I'll definitely be having the omelette. My main course was a sumptuous rack of lamb cutlets served with the most amazing potatoes you are ever likely to taste. Suitably stuffed, I then followed that with the Signature desert platter, cheese and biscuits and then florentines (a close cousin of panforte)!! All courses were served with a great selection of wines to accompany each individual dish so I was ready to be rolled out of there by Debs suitably inubriated and satiated by the end of the night.
The best thing of all, it was all impromptu - don't you just love it when that happens!!
