Don't know where this restaurant is but the food looks exceptional - was it as good as it looked?

RSJ's is on Coin Street on the south bank, very close to the National Theatre.

Food is amazing, and always remarkably good value for what you get. Three couse dinner for two with wine and service came to less than £30 a head.

Thank you, although technically it's a sorbet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbet

"Sorbet is a form of gelato that contains no milk, unlike ice cream. Sorbets may contain alcohol (which lowers the freezing temperature, resulting in a softer sorbet). Unlike ice cream, the machinery used whips almost no air into the sorbet, resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful product. This allows sorbet to match and sometimes exceed dairy-based gelato or ice cream for taste."

What is your post-main course preference sorbert or ice-cream? Is a sorbet not better between the soup and the fish course?

I like a sorbet at the end of the meal - it's nice and light after a rich main course.

this is officially your longest comment section, who'd have though ice cream would be the subject of such conversation
