Nice surroundings with doors opening on to a mini-terrace located on Frith Street. Service was fine - nothing to note, just fine.
I ordered a pizza with proscuitto, which was a complete disappointment. The dough was too salty, the sauce tasted like a acidic, cheap tin tomato type and the proscuitto just thrown on top. Given the tourist location of Bertorelli, I should really be surprised...

Santoré - Restaurant
A brief lunch with my fiancé at Santoré on a glorious summer's day - fabulous! The service was efficient and nice, the food (mushroom pizza) was divine and the wine was perfectly chilled. An inexpensive place for lunch or dinner with a nice selection of food.
One thing - there seems to almost been too much on the menu. It took me forever to choose but as my fiancé says, that may have something to do with me being a woman!

Shore Club Miami - Hotel


I spent 5 days visiting Miami and stayed in an Ocean View King size room, which was good size and for someone who lives in London, the view was worth it. There are quite a few restaurants at the hotel but once I tried the sushi at Blue Sea, I was blown away and didn’t bother with the rest. I highly recommend trying the scallop roll for a taste of heaven. The Skybar deserves a special mention because it so freaking glamorous and serves the most amazing martinis (just don’t go swimming afterwards!).
My advice is not to take Miami too seriously – it’s very glitzy, superficial and fun. A bit like an episode of CSI and I rather expected Horatio Caine to show up at any given moment!

Blue bar
Jimmy Choo - shopping

Call up, ask them to send you something/put a pair on hold and it’ll be done with no issues. Again, you’re paying for the fabulous shoes/bag AND the service. Worth every penny!
Mildred's - restaurant

On the upside, staff members are really friendly, enthusiastic and clearly know the menu inside out. Plus everything is labelled clearly for those who may be vegan, coeliac, lactose-intolerant and so on.

Milos - Restaurant

Other than the octopus, I recommend the scallops. The best thing about the restaurant has to be the huge fish counter which spans the length of the restaurant. Go choose the catch of the day and have the chef prepare it to your liking. Fresh produce at it’s best!

Ping Pong - restaurant

As the ladies called the waiter over, he rather rudely put up his hand in a 'just wait' fashion. Rude. 2 minutes later, I politely asked if he'd mind moving us to another table. Apparently there were none. (a. It was a Monday night, and b. I have eyes and can see numerous spare tables...) "We’ll order drinks and then wait for another table, if that’s alright", I said. Can you believe that the waiter dismissively moved his hand in a I-really-don’t-want-to-be-here fashion, rolled his eyes and then stood with his hand on hip waiting for our drink order. At that point, I asked my boyfriend if he minded eating elsewhere, we popped our coats on and off we went. We had lovely cocktails at Westbourne House (my espresso martini was divine) and then headed to Mulberry Street resto – the NYC-style upmarket pizzeria with the best service.
I will N-E-V-E-R so much as look at a Ping Pong menu again and will be sure to share my negative experience with anybody who’ll listen! Plus, they have cheap, wooden, disposable chopsticks = bad for the environment and not what I expect from a restaurant.
