The Fine Line Canary Wharf

Work lunch No2, right next to Davy's.

Food

We started off with some Bread and olives (£2.50) to share. By bread they meant a soft white Turkish. The olives were fat and juicy, so it was a great start. I decided I wanted to have pasta, and the Spaghetti with peppers and tomatoes (£9.50) was their only choice. A huge plate of pasta arrived, with a generous amount of Parmesan shavings on top. The sauce itself is studded with cream and tomatoes, is a bit tasteless, although the tomatoes were fresh.

Atmosphere

Another one of those corporate lunch places, with brown wooden tables and chairs, a bar dominates almost one wall of the space. The place is quite roomy, but when it feels up, gets quite noisy. I still feel like I am in some kind of boys club though.

Rating - 1.5

Service

The service was pretty decent. Our drink order promptly delivered and food ordered arrived without too much of a wait. They were able to accommodate a last minute addition without any problems either.

C-factor

We ended up splitting the bill, so I had to fork out for other people who ordered much more than me and had more expensive drinks. That worked out to be £16, which is ok for London prices, and considering the huge servings, is much better value than Davy’s right next door.
