Funny, I don't remember any veg! I remember roast potatoes?

It looks delicious and the Yorkshire is gigantic. Tell me, what vegetables did they serve with this?

Well, to be fair to John, it was a work dinner really!

So the cocktail bar is upstairs. We never made it up there. So I'd definitely do that. And I did really dig the decor and the atmosphere. But I felt out of place and there were too many kinks. Plus, the food was just not the best ever.

I’m pretty sure I’ve left this comment on someone else’s blog who wrote about Rules, but having recently re-read Graham Greene’s “The End of the Affair,” I keep associating Rules with adultery (because the two main characters having an affair regularly meet at Rules).

In any case, in theory, I like the idea that Rules has been around for ages. But in practice, I’ve found that restaurants that have been around for decades upon decades are usually disappointing. And now you’ve confirmed my bias.

That was super nice of your friend John to pick up the tab, by the way. Be sure to introduce me to him.
