15
it was fe's birthday celebrations on saturday so we all met up at '15' jamie oliver's 'good-doer' restaurant where he takes the simple, deprived teenagers off the streets and tries to get them to enjoy cooking for a living.
we had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated but we enjoyed a chat and drink in the little bar area.
for a starter we chose antipasto which was pretty good: olives, cheeses, chargrilled artichokes, the usual mediteranian fare.
for the main i chose mushroom gnocchi which was absolutely beautiful, soft and tasty.
desert i shared with ed: creme brule with ice-cream mmmm lovely and creamy.
when pushed to give '15' a score out of 10 i gave it 8, the food was good the atmosphere relaxed; music not too loud and decore low-key.
the only things that i marked it down on was the cost of the wine (which boosted our total bill 3 fold) and the fact that there was no toilet paper in the cubicle i went to...shame on you jamie but bravo for an interesting concept and for it being open for so long after the initial flury of publicity so many years ago.
