I realy like Stingray Cafe, the food is very well priced, I used to put Stingray in the same category as 'Little Bay' in Kilburn and Le Mercury in Islington, but the last time I went, I have to say the food was not all that, I strayed away from the standard menu and went for the specials, but it was not as good as their regular food!

The reviews from the press have been taken down and it does not boast how special it is anymore (which I always love) and have to say something has changed, not sure what?

I have been there loads, so I will wait until I try it one more time before concluding my views, as it hs always been good, just not the last time

Where's the sting? 8th October 2007

I have no idea why this cute little Italian on Fortess Road bears this name. There's no Thunderbirds paraphenelia, no aquariums and I didn't catch a glimpse of any ex-Neighbours characters either (showing my age there). The irony is that there is no sting at the end of a meal here. It's one of the most reasonably priced places I have found in London and is consistently good. I had a starter of beef carpaccio salad with a pesto dressing, a main of rigatoni with a smoked chicken, mushroom and cream sauce and dessert of sorbet. Oh, and a glass of champagne that they throw in there for good measure. Guess how much? go on... Yeah, that's right, I blew a whole 12 english pounds.
Because of this great menu deal (available at all times), plus the good quality menu of pizzas and pastas, the place is always nicely full and makes a really good venue for a dinner with friends. I wish I still lived as close as I used to!
