The Athenaeum (Toptable deal), 116 Piccadilly, Mayfair, London W1J 7BJ

If you'd read the previous post, you might recall that we tried to sort out a whole civilised tea / theatre day out but because the theatre bit couldn't be booked, we had to settle for tea and then dinner instead. And since we were going to get all dressed up for the theatre, surely we had to get all dressed up for this replacement dinner too. And if we were going to dress up for dinner, we had to go somewhere nice.

However, somewhere nice doesn't always equate to 'blow the budget' so we decided, like a lot of Londoners do, to go for a Toptable deal at a posh nosh restaurant instead. As we'd previously dined at The Athenaeum restaurant before (and loved it), we decided to go there again.

Toptable offer: Love Food Give Food - 3 courses and a glass of champagne £29.50 from a set menu

This hotel is located a little off the beaten path. That isn't to say it's not right smack in the middle of town, because it is. It's just that it's a little off the touristy path, although, ironically, it's also quite close to Hard Rock Cafe by Green Park station / Hyde Park Corner station. With most posh hotels (this one is 5 stars), there is usually a sense of 'Oh dear, I hope I don't drink the handwash water' faux pas extravaganza worry, but with the lovely waiting staff at this hotel, they sure know how to put their diners at ease. I felt immediately comfortable when sat down at the table, although I'm sure the cosy surroundings and plush seats helped too.

It wasn't just with us either, because although we did come in at a time when there weren't any other diners and so, could make as much noise as we wanted before we settled down, the waiting staff were just as friendly, in a kind way, to all the other diners who came in after us. Pleasant, with just enough chat so as to put us at ease, and always at hand to fill up our glasses with tap water (I know! They serve tap water, the darlings.)



The restaurant interior feels very comfortable, with just the right amount of posh to keep us feeling quite special for the evening. Couples get allocated to the private booths while bigger groups get the comfortable side tables. From the moment we sat down to when we left, we had about 2 waiting staff constantly at hand, making us feel looked after.



Oh yes, and did I mention they have a very wide, and very good, selection of whiskies? Husband was very pleased.



The first thing that was brought to the table, even before the menu, was this bread bag. The cherry seeds at the bottom of the sack which were quite warm kept the bread rolls nice and warm for quite a while, and the butter and sea salt was the perfect accompaniment to the soft and fluffy bread. My personal favourite was the olive bread.



The menu for the Toptable offer. Since we'd taken up the 3 courses and a glass of champagne for £29.50 deal, we went all out with the starter, main course and of course, the pud too.



Starter 1: Cream of broccoli and stilton soup

Portion size was perhaps enough to feed one person as a main. Not that we were complaining, but if you were the kind of person who couldn't left your food unfinished, then you might be a tad full at the end of this meal. J who had it said it was very nice indeed. In fact, she'd had it before and ordered it again because she liked it so much.



Starter 2: Ham hock, kohlrabi, chervil and orange salad

Husband ordered this just because it had meat and he likes ham (we had ham hock at our wedding dinner though it didn't look like this version). He seemed quite disappointed with the shredded ham as I think he was looking forward to a chunky piece of meat to bite into, and so, sat there with a bit of a sulk - nibbling the julienned vegetables and ham, muttering to himself.

I, on the other hand, took a mouthful to try, and can say most objectively that it was quite pleasant, actually. The salty ham contrasted very well with the slight tang from the orange salad, and I quite liked the fact that it had been sliced fine rather than served in a chunk. That'll teach him not to order anything which says 'salad' in the description.



Starter 3: Home-cured spiced salmon, Asian salad and soy dressing

This was my starter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It could've done with a bit less oil though, as it didn't seem to add any flavour to the dish, and left a rather unpleasant oily feel around my mouth. The fish was sliced quite thick which, to me, is always important with cured / smoked fish because if it's too thin, it's simply impossible to get the full benefit of the chewy smoked texture. It tasted somewhere in between smoked salmon and raw salmon; while the vegetable (a bit of mango in there) provided a good contrast to the chewiness. It was just the right amount too, as if there had been any more, it would've been a little overwhelming.



Complimentary amuse-bouche - Parsnip crisp and truffle mousse

Free stuff!!! Always like some free stuff. This wasn't any ol' free stuff. It was AMAZING free stuff. When the waiter put it down, he mentioned 'truffle' and when I said 'truffle what?' (trying to figure out what the white mousse-thing was), he said 'truffle' again, so either I didn't hear what he was saying, or he missed out a word in the description? I could taste earthy mushroom in the mousse-thing, so am guessing it's a mousse made with truffle. Parsnip crisp was perfectly crispy - fine line between crisp and just burnt. This was on the right side of the divide. The mousse was so unbelievable airy; it was like a floaty cloud of truffly goodness.



Main course 1: Seared English beef rump with green beans, herbed creamed potato and mustard jus

3 out of the 4 of us had this - must have been all the cake we had earlier which made us crave a bit of meat. I had mine rare, and they must have mixed the orders up as my dining companion's piece of steak looked a lot rarer than mine. But anyhow, it was cooked really well and for a rump cut, definitely tender and easy to eat. The mash was out of this world. Soft and creamy, with a hint of cream -I scoffed the lot. And as a final compliment to the chef (for this course), how did you make those green beans taste so good? Not only were they crunchy, yet soft (bewildering) but they managed to retain flavour! You are indeed a cooking genius.



Main course 2: Braised leg of rabbit, pearl barley and glazed carrots with a rabbit sauce

This was what J (the little rebel diner) had. We all had beef, she had rabbit. Now I've not had wabbit before, so she generously offered me a nibble. I said what no one should say of wabbit, and that was 'It tastes like chicken.'



Pudding 1: Lemon curd tart with chantilly cream and fresh berries

And since we'd already stretched our bellies quite a bit that day, we thought, why not have more pudding. Also, it came with the promotion set, so we'd be incredibly generous (and logical) to have said no to it.

Lemon curd was a very good way to slice through the grease from the earlier bits of the meal. With just the right amount of tang and zest to bring out the drool from the back of the mouth (you know what I mean), it was also creamy at the same time. The strawberries were amazingly sweet for this time of the year.



Pudding 2: Vanilla crème brûlée

My pud. Usually I try and pick the least indulgent dessert on offer, because I know my own lack of self-control when it comes to not finishing the whole thing. This time, however, I decided to go with the crème brûlée, which most possibly comprised my calorie intake for the month. It was worth it, though. Each mouthful was cloyingly creamy, with beautiful flecks of vanilla emersed throughout the dish. I just had to finish the whole thing, sugar crust by sugar crust. And when I was done, I nearly finished J's portion but I just about held myself back. Well done, me.

So, overall, a most enjoyable dining experience had here with some of the most pleasant waiting staff in the whole of London. Would recommend again and again.

Almeida Restaurant (Islington), 30 Almeida Street, London, N1 1TD

Excuse me while I dust this blog off ...

I know it's been a while, and if anyone is still reading, thank you very much. Because it's been quite cold, we've not really been trying out many (if any) new restaurants. We also spent a week skiing at Risoul in France and although I thought I'd get a good week's worth of food posts from it, turns out we didn't eat out much after all (it was really expensive eating out). Who knows? Those pictures of Brie on strawberry jam and raclette might be brought out when material runs low (which is about now).

Anyhow, after weeks and weeks of eating pretty much the same stuff, interspaced by some interesting ways of cooking instant Kimchi noodles (I love those noodles), we finally came out of the winter hibernation mode to meet with some friends. As I've pretty much given up on finding new places to try, it was with much pleasure that I accepted my friend's invitation to have lunch at Almeida; a restaurant located off the main Upper St of Islington on Almeida Street.

It's quite an unassuming restaurant from the outside, and if we weren't looking out for it, we could've easily missed it just walking by.

Immediately inside the restaurant is a small reception counter where the coats are taken, pleasantries are exchanged with the dining guests, or in our case, pictures taken of the flowers by the table.

Our friends were delayed by either the tube (the ever punctual Jubilee line) or a tyre puncture, so despite us being 10 minutes late, we were still on time! Sitting around on the sofa, I checked out the property magazines lying around (maybe they're trying to get diners to live in the area ...?) and promptly put them down again when I saw those prices. Maybe it was my incessant picture snapping from the sofa or the bored looks we had, but the waiting staff were constantly there asking if we needed a drink, if we were OK, etc. Good service from the start hey.

When our friends arrived, we were shown to our table right in the middle of the restaurant. Usually, I only dine out at dinner time which explains why from the months of November to March, the pictures on this blog get rather ... orange. Whenever I get the chance to actually have lunch on a weekend, I try and compensate for dodgy photography skills by asking for a table where the light shines brightly. This one didn't disappoint.

OK, before I continue, let's just set the scene and say the only bad thing I have to say about this place. To set the scene - we had 3 girls from the same school who were meeting up socially for the first time in a long time (ie lots of talking).

These 3 girls were there with their 3 partners who were trying to get a word in edgeways (ie not successful). Despite all the talking and not talking, I still noticed how long it took for the food to get to us in between courses. The main course took a good 20 mins to half an hour to get to us, I dare say. I mean, I wasn't timing it or anything (not socially accepted while trying to maintain a conversation) but it was long enough for us to pause in between conversations to go, 'Hmm it's taking a while, isn't it.'

So there, I've spat out the only negative thing I have to say about this place, so now we can continue on with the post - full of sunshine and good vibes.

We were there on the Toptable deal where 3 courses and a bellini cost £27.50. Without the deal, 3 courses on its own costs £26.50 while you could have 2 courses for about £22. And because we HAD to have a good deal, we HAD to order 3 courses. Oh the things I go through for good deals.

Oh, and a quick peek into the kitchen is always interesting.

Starters:

Crayfish, avocado tian, confit tomato, lemon olive oil

I was torn between having this one and the one I eventually ordered (the beef tartare). I have this stupid thing (dunno if I've mentioned it before) where I go to a restaurant, pick out the thing I really, really want to order, and then order something else. I don't know why I do this - some stupid self-depravation thing maybe, but I then feel almost better about myself because I think, 'Ha! The one I really, really wanted must be really, really bad for me, so if I don't order it, and order something I might not really want instead, it must be better for me.'

Yes, men of the world. That is why ladies are always taking the chips off your plate.

But anyhow, this time, because I was kinda hungry (had funny tum the day before. OK, too much details) I decided to go with the caveman option and order the raw, minced beef (more on that later).

The boyfriend decided on having the charcuterie plate (full of ham and other meats, how yummy) but then when the waiter came to take his order, he ... ordered the wrong thing.

So, this dish is pretty much feeling rejected and unwanted by now, but apparently it tasted quite OK. I had a try though it was only a small bite, and well, what can I say? It tasted like crab with some avocado. Nothing extraordinary but neither was it bad. It just did what it said on the tin.

Is that no longer sufficient in today's demanding, over-achieving world? Yes, it is.

East Anglia fillet beef tartare, Melba toast

So this was what I had when I was feeling quite caveman-like. Say what you like, but to me, beef tartare tastes like BigMac.

(You posh noshers in the back row can pipe down now. Nothing to gasp about. It's fact.)

Why fact? Well, think of it this way. They have the same ingredients - beef mince, gherkins, tomatoey things, and onions. The only difference (OK maybe not the ONLY difference) is that one is cooked while the other is caveman-like roaaaaaaaarrrrrrr (raw, I mean).

And there's a raw egg on it also. But if you just take into account the taste and not the texture, it's almost similar. Because I like BigMacs, I like beef tartare. Simples.

This one was lovely. I couldn't tell the difference between a normal beef tartare and one made from East Anglia fillet of beef, but maybe that was what made it good. Maybe if it had been made with West Anglia rump of beef, it would've been nahhhs-ty. It was almost lean (from what I could tell), and each mouthful tasted of nothing but fresh, good quality beef. I consumed this almost in one.

Papillon Roquefort, chicory, red chicory and watercress salad, toasted walnuts

A friend (who was sitting across the other side of the table from me) had this, so I could not reach out to try some. It looked good though.

Main courses:

Slow roast belly of pork, chantenay carrots, pomme puree, sauteed spinach, sauce aux epices (sauce with spice)

How lovely is that? I briefly considered ordering this and then told myself off for giving in to such luscious temptations. It sounded good, it looked even better, and the friend who was having it said that it tasted like roast pork (which it is), but I mean 'siew yuk' (Chinese roast pork).

Uh huh. I should've ordered it. Slices of tender roasted belly of pork with crispy scratching. Not easily achieved, but they managed it here.

Roast rib of beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables

The fiance decided to go traditional, and being the only English in the group, he went back to basics and ordered the roast beef. I had a taste of it, and rather liked it because from the one mouthful that I had, the beef was tender, meaty-flavoured, and pleasant enough.

The potatoes looked really crispy and fluffy from where I sat, and I looked on longingly as he ate them one by one. When I asked his opinion of the dish, however, he said that while it was good for what it was, again, it just kinda did what it said on the tin.

It didn't have anything of a wow factor about it, but that could also be a good thing because if you're gonna serve roast beef, and then mess about with it, I know some people who'd have real issues about that.

Breast of Barbary duck, pommes dauphinoise, creamed Savoy, sauce au poivre

Said friend who was sitting across the table from me was the one who had the duck. I raised the question during the meal about what exactly was a Barbary duck, and thought he'd know because he's French, and don't the French know everything about food?

Anyhow, no one at the table knew what Barbary duck was, so I consulted Wikipedia but found only references for Muscovy Duck. Strange, I thought. Usually Wikipedia has EVERYTHING about ANYTHING.

A few more searches on Google produced the same baffling returns - Muscovy duck, referred from Muscovy duck, and so on.

Finally, from http://www.tititudorancea.com/z/muscovy_duck.htm - 'In some regions the name Barbary Duck is used for domesticated and "Muscovy Duck" for wild birds; in other places "Barbary Duck" refers specifically to the dressed carcass, while "Muscovy Duck" applies to living C. moschata, regardless of whether they are wild or domesticated. In general, "Barbary Duck" is the usual term for C. moschata in a culinary context.'

Eh ... huh?

Forget I asked the question. It was duck. It was roasted / fried / cooked in some fashion. And I heard it was good.

Baked wild halibut, coco nib and herb crust, sauteed spinach, mushroom veloute

(Note: I've been doing quite a lot of research on Wikipedia for this post. The latest one is on what a 'coco nib' is.)

So, while eating the dish, the only thing that occurred to me was that here was a beautifully fried piece of fish, and I don't know what they did with the herbed crust, but it sure was green and tasted fabulous.

Then, when I was writing this post and had to put the name of the dish down, I started wondering what a 'coco nib' was. A quick search on Google showed that the most common spelling for this was 'cocoa nib' which was described as being the edible part of the cocoa bean. 'Coco nib', on the other hand, didn't come up with many explanations aside from references of how they were used in fish crusts and that.

So, my conclusion is that it's some kind of cocoa bean product which has been mixed in with herbs to form the crust for the fish. There wasn't any particular taste that jumped out from the fish but again, that could be one of those things where if it wasn't in the dish, then it would've tasted less full.
What I really liked about the dish was the mushroom veloute. It tasted (pardon the really unsophisticated references here) like the best version of creamed mushroom soup I've had, and boy oh boy, were those mushrooms juicy!

Each delicate piece of mushroom was delightfully plump and produced this almost squelching burst of mushroom goodness when I bit into it. I could've had more, loads more, and savoured each one with an almost misty-eyed look of chomping satisfaction.

Dessert:

Apple tarte tatin, creme fraiche

The fiance said this was the best part of the meal. I might have had agreed if I ordered this for dessert, but I didn't. I tried a good few mouthfuls of it, and there's no way I can describe it aptly to give it the full credit it deserved. But I'll try.

The pastry was crispy on the outside and very chewy and lovely once you got to the middle. Each mouthful was sticky and chewy and it had the hallmark of a pastry well made. The apple pieces were perfectly baked - so creamy and yet still fruity, and there was not a hint of over / under cooking about it. If I were Goldilocks, this would be the one declared a winner. Oh dear, it's not even lunchtime yet and I'm salivating just thinking about this.

Hot chocolate fondant, honeycomb ice cream

The prettiest dish of the lot. How cute is that! It looked good, and I'm sure it tasted good too as the friend having it seemed to be having a really engrossing good time eating it.

Glazed passion fruit tart, yoghurt sorbet, passion fruit jam

This was what I had. When I ordered it, I dunno what gave me the impression that it would resemble a tart; you know, kinda like an apple tart but with passion fruit pieces on top of it. It might not even BE possible to have passion fruit pieces, I don't know, but when it was served, I almost thought they gave me the wrong dish. Upon closer inspection though, it was a passion fruit tart, with a very thin layer of pastry on the outside, and the most creamy, luxurious passion fruit filling within the tart.

The texture was similar to that of lemon curd, and it had a similar fresh tang about it. It was so luxurious that for one moment, I thought I was having a lemony, passion fruity creme brulee, complete with the slightly burnt crispy sugar topping.

To sum it up, the food here was very enjoyable; with nothing but the freshest of ingredients cooked extremely well. The service was pleasant and prompt, though the time in between courses could've been a little shorter. For what we paid (about £36 each including water and tips - we didn't order any wine) it was a little on the pricey side but considering the location of the restaurant and also the good company we had that day, it was a meal well worth it. You should give it a go if you're there.

Viet Grill, 58 Kingsland Road, Shoreditch

Why review a new restaurant, when you can always review the same restaurant again? As all successful food bloggers say, ‘Why try something new when you know what you like.’

(That is a joke that will get me no where.)

We like Viet Grill. Alot. So much so that every Friday when we’re debating where to go for dinner, the default choice is always Viet Grill (salt and pepper squid is a good reason if you need one).

Without meaning to sound like some sort of unpaid ambassador for Toptable, there is a reservation service for Viet Grill from Toptable, and every time you make a reservation, and then write a review, you get 200 points. When you’ve accumulated 1,400 points, you get a free meal from one of their selected restaurants.

So you might have to write the same review over and over again, eat ze peas ee, lemon squeezy.

I won’t elaborate on these dishes in terms of prices and that as you can check it out in the previous post of this place. The summer rolls here are so fresh, and so chewy (that is a good thing as I like chewy food). When I say something is chewy, that is a compliment.

For example, your new dress is so chewy.

Now, if chewy was a compliment, the feudal beef is CHEWMAGNIMOUS. This is the best, the most tender, the most flavoursome, the most well-grilled and the most every complimentary adjective piece of steak you could ever find.

(Unless of course if you’re comparing it to something ridiculous like Wagyu beef.)

But in the correct comparison league, this is top of the class. Wanna have affordable, really recommended beef? This is it.

The salt and pepper squid is the reason we come here so frequently. That, and the feudal beef and summer roll.

Each piece is crispy, crunchy, chewy and nicely salty.

Bun sa (lemongrass sauteed chicken with rice vermicelli) £6.50

The noodle dish that just wasn’t up to scratch. We’ve had the other noodle dishes from here which I’ll recommend to anyone, but this one was not one of them. The chicken was flavourful, but the noodles were just so watery, not with gravy but from the vegetables on top of the dish. This made the noodles soggy, and just not very nice.

Discounting the one dish which wasn’t up to standard, I’d still come back to Viet Grill, and recommend that you do too as it’s really one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in London.

The Clerkenwell, 69-73 St. John Street, Clerkenwell (nearest tube Farringdon)

Toptable featured me as ‘blog of the week’ when I reviewed The Zetter, which was one of its 50% off featured restaurants. So, in a very blatant attempt at being ‘blog of the week’ again, we decided to try out The Clerkenwell which is also on the 50% off promotion (food only).

Clerkenwell is quite a funny place, as it’s very busy during the week, but during the weekends, there’s pretty much no one around, none of the shops are opened. If you’re a tourist here for the first time, you’d be under the impression that Londoners don’t do much on weekends.

I like the menu here, it’s definitely not another big menu. A leather-bound folder opens to reveal 2 pages (the entire menu) printed on cream-coloured paper, with descriptions succinct enough to let you know what the dish is without being over-detailed.

Featuring a good mixture of fish-based and meat-based dishes with a few vegetarian dishes thrown in for good measure, it took us no time at all to decide what to order.

But the chef took 1 hour 10 minutes to get the starters to us. When you’re very hungry, you start timing the chef.

But before we jump to that (and believe me, there were plenty of bread baskets between that jump) let me describe the ambience. The lighting in the restaurant was slightly dimmed, but bright enough to allow food photography so that was a plus point. With tables set far apart enough from other tables, and with quite a few tables in secluded nooks in the restaurant, I can see this place as quite a popular spot for first dates.

Once we’d placed our orders with the waiter, we were brought a portion of amuse-bouche each.

Described as an artichoke and foie gras soup by the waiter, this was a nice surprise from the restaurant. Perhaps they knew that the appetizers were going to take 1 hour 10 minutes to get to us.

It was warm and creamy, with a flavourful hint of foie gras, and there must have been some mushrooms in there as we smelled and tasted mushrooms.

1 hour 10 minutes later …

Seared scallops, aubergine pakora and curry spices £10

The scallops were fabulously done, slightly seared on the outside, and rare on the inside with just enough bite. This was nicely complemented by the slightly bland pakora, and although I believe that there was aubergine in it, I couldn’t taste any aubergine. This could have been due to the fact that aubergine is quite bland anyway, and perhaps should not have been used in a pakora. The 3 sauces or chutneys that came with the dish might have been specific to each bit of the dish, but the waiter didn’t mention anything about it, so we just mixed it up and dipped a bit of everything into it.

Game terrine, grape chutney and toasted country bread £8

I ordered this as I’d not had terrine before (despite having seen it being cooked on Come Dine With Me several times). When it arrived, I took one bite of it and the immediate impression I had was … Spam.

Now, this may seem like an insult to the game terrine, but it’s not. I like Spam (you know you secretly do too) and the reason I likened this to it was because of the texture. Taste-wise, it was salty, with lovely bits of chewy meat balanced by softer textures, and although I wasn’t sure what meat was in there, it did convince me that it was game at least.

The grape chutney was sweet and slightly sour, bril with the terrine.

Lamb broth, crispy lamb and marjoram dumplings £8.50

I didn’t taste this dish, it was ordered by another friend, but it looked like broth, was described as broth, thus would probably have taste like broth.

Saute of foie gras, salad of sun dried cranberries and hazelnuts £11

My friend who ordered this said that although it was OK, it wasn’t as nice as other foie gras he’d had before. Not being one who’s had foie gras more than twice (once in the amuse bouche and another in canapes unknowingly), I didn’t know what that meant.

He said that usually, foie gras is served with something sweet, but this was served with cranberries which is more sour than sweet.

Once we’d hoovered up the starters, we sat down to another half hour wait for the main meals. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely enjoy watching waiters go by, watching paint peel off walls, and watching the little green plant on the table sitting in its pot, but after a while, I had to ask the waiter when the main meals were coming.

He was very attentive, and returned to our table twice, each time confirming that our food was on the way.

30 minutes after the starters arrived …

Roast halibut, savoy cabbage and corned beef hash £19

This was what I had. There as a generous portion of fish here, with crispy flavourful skin on the outside and white, flakey fish on the inside, each mouthful a lovely bite. The mash potato was one of the best I’ve had, but as I’ve not had corned beef mash before, it could have been the corned beef that made such a difference. Creamy, smooth and tasty, the fish and the potato went well together.

Crisp fillet of sea bass, veloute of crab, crisp potato rosti £19

Look at these 2 slivers of sea bass. And then go up and look at that huge piece of halibut. For dishes that were priced the same, why was there such a big difference in portion sizes?

A check on a fish supplies online store showed that sea bass is priced at about £19 per kg. Halibut is priced at £20 per kg. Obviously, because this is a restaurant, I’m not saying that I’d be expecting a kilogram of fish on my plate, but why are the portion sizes so different, if the price of the fish are similar?

My friends who had this said that it was very fresh and tasty, but were feeling hungry even after the main course.

Pot roasted chicken, 'chicken and leek pie' £17

I guess it was quite presumptuous of us to have been expecting a little casserole filled with chicken pie.

When this came to the table, we tried to figure out where the pie was, and concluded that it must have been that little stack underneath the carrot. The pie was very similar to dumplings with leek and chicken in it, but as it was eaten within seconds of being served, I concluded that it must have tasted good.

The chicken was moist, and the skin was flavoured well with salt and crispy.

Spiced rump of lamb, aubergine and couscous with merguez and minted yoghurt £17

I had a taste of the lamb, which was tender. My friend who had this said that the portion was huge, and that he found it enjoyable. From what I could see, there were some sausages and big cous cous with the lamb.

Would I come back to this restaurant? Well, I knew about the place through Toptable, and with the 50% promotion, the price was very reasonable for the quality of food we had. Portion sizes differed depending on what you ordered though.

With the 50% promotion, I would come back to this place, but I’ll probably bring a book, some board games and maybe even some pre-dinner snacks along.
