Ti's View

We were unpardonably late, but descending the long staircase to the basement dining room we were greeted with the welcoming sight of our great dining companions - Su & To seated at a round table right at the base of these stairs.
Dining out affords one the opportunity to view one's fellow species, and to marvel at it's variation. Our table gave us an excellent vantage point from which to see the almost de rigueur 4"- heels worn by most of the women present. In fact, it seemed that the dress code here was definitely 'flash-trash'; far more Hendon Broadway than the usual attire of Camden Town denizens. One of the benefits of writing a semi-anonymous blog is being able to be catty. Anyhow, our position at the base of said stairs gave us the unsettling feeling that we might at any point be the victims of a ch-avalanche.
Good strong cocktails settled our nerves, and my Vesper Martini made me feel very suave and bond-ish. As for the warm pate-mousse served in a kilner jar - this was gorgeous.
My starter of a 'mosaic' of foie gras and pork was one of the best terrines I've had, and the surround of pickled mushrooms a perfect foil. Top marks.
This was followed (at length) by red-leg partridge seved with truffle chips and some other vegetables (alright, I know I should have posted sooner, when everything was fresh in my mind) and again, the cooking was very good and delicious.
I sampled the fish stew that Ju & Su had and thought it excellent - gutsy, tasty and rustic.
Pud of chocolate parfait with hazelnut ice cream was nice but unmemorable.
The service: is JuTiSuTo ever going to find decent sevice? Far from being captious, we just want to be treated properly - is this so hard? A restaurant such as this is aiming high, with no expense spared on decor, etc, as well as serving very nice food. Why on earth can't they train the staff to do their job properly?
Enjoyable night out, high quality food ingredients, I'll have to go with 7/10.
