Dinner at "Fifteen"

"Dinner at "15" which is Jamie Oliver's restaurant
You have to book months in advance"

"Fifteen"
On the ground floor at Fifteen is the Trattoria
where you can enjoy great food and some fantastic cocktail creations
with no reservations required
The atmosphere is relaxed and the service friendly,
making it a great place to meet friends for lunch and dinner, or just to chat over a drink
Downstairs in the Restaurant,
where things remain pretty relaxed with our retro design creating the perfect atmosphere
for dining with friends, doing business, or tucking away in a booth for a romantic meal
But please remember that a reservation is definitely recommended

A few details on the restaurant
--------or click here to go to "Fifteen - The Restaurant" official web site

The retro styling and open kitchen combine to make the restaurant at Fifteen a relaxed and friendly dining environment.
You can eat with family and friends or squirrel yourselves away for a romantic dinner in one of the booths.
The emphasis is on top quality seasonal produce, simply prepared with care and passion to create the best in modern British dishes with an Italian Mediterranean influence.
And we're just as excited about wine as we are about food, with a list that covers everything from the world famous to classics in the making.
At the start of February 2004 there are going to be some very exciting changes at Fifteen.
We are going to be re-launching the Ground Floor at Fifteen to specialise in fresh pasta, with a new and delicious á la carte menu, while the Restaurant at Fifteen will be serving an amazing eight course tasting menu of Jamie's favourites.
There will also be the option to extend your dining experience with a specially selected wine package to match your menu, prices starting at £35 per person.
We can still cater for your food requirements - simply make sure our reservations team are aware of any specialist requirements at the point of making your booking.
Please note that reservations for The Restaurant are essential and that the maximum table capacity is for 6 people only.
Larger bookings of up to 10 people maximum can be accommodated in our Trattoria

A note from Tanya after her night out
"Fifteen Restaurant
It was really quite nice but not at all what I thought
There are two parts to the place and we were in the cheapie bit
The actual restuarant bit was much flasher - we peeked in!
Anyway, for starters they brought out fresh italia bread
and a dip made of balsamic vinegar and olive oil - so good
For a main I had nice ravioli freshmade filled with crab meat
It was nice but I would have preferred more than 4 pieces!
The desert was a chocolate tart which was also nice
It wasn't too expensive either because we weren't in the Trattoria but we had fun"
