I was there a few years ago and went again last night ($80 now for the degustation) My meal was totally different from the one you had. The dishes were very complicated but lacked something as I say in my review (see www.1001dinners.blogspot.com) it failed to titivate the taste buds Sorry guys, and dolls, I can’t quite agree with you about Attica.

But I meant to sound teasing and playful rather than snotty and condescending. My apologies! Of course we want to know everything, sooner the better, and we're grateful to folks like you who get in there, who have good taste and can f^&*ing write!! BTW, I've been droooooling over the Attica pics :) Tone’s a hard thing to get right, especially for a first time commenter.

I first heard about it last year and several people at the Hun have been raving about it to me for yonks. But it just takes time to get everywhere especially when reviewing and I'm forced to eat at certain places. I think it's time to book before The Age Good Food Guide Awards and shall to revisit. Is my evaluation of Nob premature? I know from webstats that people are desperate to know what a placeis like as soon as it is open so an early review making a few allowances is fine, retunring for a harder-mosed look a couple of months later. Chris,

Took your time catching up with this one, didn'tcha? Too busy knobbing! (I mean hob nobbing, don't I?) I first went late last year, a few weeks after Simon Plant gave the place a big rave in the Hun. (Downes was taking some "down time" I think.) Went the degust option with my vegetarian GF. Some really daring choices are made in that kitchen. They routinely set my palate buzzing. (And tongue wagging!) It's very reliable. Great value too, I think. (For now!) If Nobu was premature evaluation, this one is, er, reviewitus reservatus!
