When we walked in, I immediately noticed<br \/>\nthe variety of colours in the sleek atmosphere. The place was very<br \/>\nsophisticated but the environment felt extremely welcoming. The huge glass<br \/>\nwindows were beautiful and my friends loved seeing the entire city lit up<br \/>\nat night, a big change from our small Brighton home. We could clearly see<br \/>\nthe Thames River as well as the London Eye.<\/p>\n<p>The whole meal was absolutely delicious. We started with tapas ? garlic<br \/>\nand chilli tiger prawns with chorizo (\u00a36) and the Mediterranean vegetable<br \/>\ntagine with chick peas and courgette (\u00a34) ? and I ordered the fusilli con<br \/>\ngorgonzola (\u00a38.75) which was one of the best pastas I?ve ever had. My mate<br \/>\nraved about her Napolitano pizza (\u00a38.25), claiming it competed with her<br \/>\nItalian food experience. My other friend, being a vegetarian, chose the<br \/>\nceps and wild roquette gnocchi (\u00a311.25) and devoured the entire dish.<br \/>\nThere was a large selection of cocktails and I selected the ?As Good as It<br \/>\nGets? (\u00a36.75) which described the entire evening perfectly. <strong>When the bill<br \/>\ncame it was reasonably priced, less than \u00a370 with service charge,<br \/>\nespecially considering the great food, excellent drinks and wonderful<br \/>\nservice we experienced throughout the evening.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was an ideal place to catch up old mates as it was hip and not too<br \/>\nloud. Also, the crowd there was semi-young, perfect for three singletons<br \/>\nto scope out men. I will certainly be returning in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spectrum Bar and Cafe, Park Plaza County Hall, London Becky Taylor reviews the Spectrum Bar and Cafe Spectrum Bar and Cafe Park Plaza County Hall 1 Addington St London, SE1 7RY United Kingdom Tel: 020 7021 1919 http:\/\/www.parkplazacountyhall.com\/default.asp?section=347 When my friends from home came to visit me, my colleagues recommended trying Spectrum.
