The Restaurant was shown in its entirety on Foxtel, fortunately. Cheers!

Yes, The Restaurant had a run of oooh about one episode on Channel 10 before it was scrapped, unfortunately. AA Gill's piece is good, but my preference is definitely for reviewers who focus on the food and establishment. AA Gill spends (like some other reviewers) a lot of time on himself or random (often bitchy) factoids. Thanks for popping by, Davy!

My favourite review of all time is the following from AA Gill, not scathing but complimentary, whimsical, laced with melancholy and absolutely beautifully written. My mate is one of the chefs so I was quite chuffed for him, to have such a little work of wordy art written about your place is quite an honour...let me know what you think! <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/newspapers/sunday_times/style/article1025307.ece" rel="nofollow">http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/newspapers/sunday_times/style/article1025307.ece </a> Yes, great review…I remember that Chowderey bloke from a fly-on-the-wall TV series based in New York a while back where he locked horns with the egomaniac chef…I think it was called The Restaurant or Rocco's or something…great show, in a car crash TV way.
