I've read them all and will store all the info for future dining - for now, I've booked at La Mer and have asked for the table with the best view - so hopefully will not be overlooking the construction site at The Pearl - it's a couple of months away yet so here's hoping. Thanks everyone for all their suggestions. As I said I shall store it all away for the future. My husband and I do love to eat out and where we live now it's either the pub ... or the pub!
