Nuff steak.. - review added on Sun 2nd Jul 2000

I've been to Antibo a couple of times in the past, during university holiday reunions.Its a very large, well lit restaurant (conveniently located for an after eating Ritzy (Sorry 'The Palais') dance.The menu is reasonably extensive, though for reasons I will explain, on both occasions nearly everyone had steak!Basically Antibo did (and probably still does - you'd have to phone and find out) 2 for 1 meal deals.Now being a greedy lot, initially half of my friends ordered steak in some form or another. The way the 2 for 1 works, is that you get the cheaper of the 2 dishes free. So those of us who hadn't ordered steak realised there was going to be an element of cross-subsidisation if we split the bill.Ultimately this resulted in 11 out of 12 people ordering fillet steak (with or without the pepper sauce) which doesn't really leave me in a very good position to comment on the menu as a whole (the steak was nice!)

Party on! - review added on Fri 12th Oct 2001

Thur 11 Oct 2001.Definitely a place for a party!Eating by myself was not a bad experience because there was plenty of entertainment around. The birthday girl at one table even got an opportunity to dress up as a chef and whirl the pizza base, which grabbed the attention of everyone!I didn't have steak, but it is easy to see its attraction under the 2 for 1 offer, which is still available. I went for pasta, the tomato based sauce flavoured with garlic (lots), bacon, olives and chilli [Spag Matriciano?] was likeable and different, if a little intense. The portion was plenty for a main course alone.House red (merlot) highly acceptable - and 2 small glasses with the pasta came to £12 approx., so good value.It is a large, atmospheric restaurant, attractively decorated which is obviously popular for parties but it does also cater for the quieter or more intimate diner with tables around the main floor area.

Not My Kind Of Place At All. - review added on Wed 4th Oct 2006

I'm surprised by the decent reviews as I, and any one I've spoken to, hated it here. Then again, I suppose it all comes down to what makes a good night out. If you want sophistication and great food then this is not the place for you. Just don’t go there for a quiet romantic dinner. The food is expensive (to compensate for the 2 for 1. Just drop the offer and the prices). It is not terrible, but I’ve had far better pub meals.
