La Toque
La Toque is probably the best and certainly the most stylish restaurant in Beeston. We went on Tuesday night, clutching our vouchers for the Times Eat Out for £5 promotion. It's actually £10 at La Toque and you get two courses with a glass of house wine. I've eaten there before with this offer and had a great value, excellent meal. They must have been losing money on the deal because this was ridiculous. The starter (scallops) and main courses (monkfish, red mullet or duck) were roughly the same size - miniscule. And they only give you one bread roll. The idea is to get you to upgrade to a dessert which is an extra £5. While the food was interesting, it certainly wasn't up to their usual standard. We felt disinclined to upgrade - we weren't ready for dessert since it seemed like we had hardly even got started. We left and thought about getting some chips on the way home - actually we didn't bother and I made some sandwiches with salami and fresh bread from Sainsbury's.

I have been to this restaurant on several occassions and have always found both the food and service of an excellent standard, where you at the same restaurant ???/
Just reading this to pass the time, quite well written if you ask me. The point surely is that the reviewer is saying they do not live up to their normal standards if you have a special offer voucher. So you could have been a hundred times and paid the full price, but it would prove nothing. That is very short-sighted of them.
