Deanes in Belfast when it had a Michelin star. Lost it but the head chef got another elsewhere, somehow. Expected the expense which was fine but the food was bland and the service terrible.

It's really, really grim, isn't it? It reminds me of the back part of the Hobgoblin in the late 90s.

Is the problem not more to do with your seemingly easy pleased mates? FWIW I don't think I've ever seen Nandos big itself up more than anything it is.

I already mentioned that in my last post. And they weren't my mates! The definition of overrated is that people think that something is better than what it actually is. Nothing to do with the place itself "bigging itself up" (which although I understand the meaning of, I don't get in this context). It's been a long day though......

Sorry! But it was just too dingy for my liking and it took me ages to get the smell of fags out of my clothes whenever I went in there.
