NB. 4yrs ago we ate dinner inside at Ramses & had drinks at the cocktail bar. Back then it was 'the place to be seen' & we found the staff a little arrogant. Fast forward to Spring 2013 & Ramses still seems to be a popular spot with the 'in-crowd' but the staff seemed to have lost the pretentious attitude.
It's Curbappeal:
- decent sized terrace with funky chairs set on the pavement outside this cool restaurant
- it setting on a busy road junction might not sound inviting but its set far enough back that you barely notice the noise. Plus with a DJ playing some cool tunes, you feel you could almost be in Ibiza
- great spot for people watching
The crowd: elegant & monied
Food & drink rating: we had the mozzarella & tomato salad (with rocket). It was a pretty small portion & had quite a salty green pesto dressing. The apple martini was so bad we had to return it. Nice fruit smoothie & decent espresso.
The bill: ok
Anything we didn't like: food just ok (maybe we choose badly) & apple martini awful
Top tip: come for a weekend brunch, people watch & enjoy the chilled house tunes being mixed by the DJ
Recommended: for sure but don't try the apple martini
Date of visit: Saturday 13th April 2013
