Review by Kris from Sidcup,
We went to La Ballerina before a show and were seated without a booking. The staff were friendly and warm and we were looked after well.
The food was very good for the price (considering the area) and we were pleased with the overall experience. The decor is a little dated but it's clean and well presented so this added to the atmosphere for us.
To feed a family of four for little over £70 was great value for the quality of food. Sirlion steak cooked to perfection and pasta that was served 'al dente' the way it's supposed to be!
I am surprised at the negative reviews as this does not appear to be the same place that we visited! If you have not been in some time, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised to find a warm, friendly place with good food in a wonderful location - and the coffee is good too!! |

A total rip-off. Don't[Read More...]
