The Lobster Pot (3 Kennington Lane, London, SE11 4RG)

The Lobster Pot's seafood was fresh and delicious, and very good value. At the end of a delightful meal, after lingering over luscious dessert wines and chatting with the friendly chef and his lovely wife, we were the last to leave. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them, and they gladly agreed to order a taxi for us we went out into a dark and stormy night. Not only is the chef/owner an excellent cook, but a very kind man too – “you'll never get a taxi in this rain” he said as he followed us out of the restaurant and offered us a lift home, which we gratefully accepted. How's that for service – definitely 11 out of 10!

Texture (34 Portman Street, London, W1H 7BY)

A singular experience: I hosted a group of 8 foodies at Texture just before Christmas. The food was good, and the service genuinely friendly and helpful. Several Icelandic specialities were a novel experience – for example although barley risotto doesn't sound too exciting, it combined a pleasing taste with an interesting texture. Although we ordered with restraint and restricted ourselves to the less expensive wines, the bill came to just over £700, or about £90 per person. In my opinion this would have justified rating Texture as average value, if it hadn't been for one major criticism. Several of us ordered the “Scottish scallops with cauliflower textures”. At £18.50 this was an expensive starter, and what prompted me to give the lowest ("awful") mark in Square Meal's “value for money” category is that although scallops (plural) were advertised in the menu, only one scallop (singular) per person was served. Even though tasting delicious, the high price of this morsel left an unpleasant taste in the mouth.
