Broke And Hungry - Sleepy John Estes

Advantages: Easy to find, clean,
Disadvantages: Not always consistent quality

...well known "landmarks". The restaurant itself is situated up a few lightly sloping steps, witha big abstract sculpture outside. In the summer months, there are chrome tables and chairs outside, and this area does get busy because it's a pleasant place to sit and watch the world and the river go by, although it is a bit obscured by buildings! THE RESTAURANT The entrance of the restaurant is very modern, with est est est in chrome, and large windows. Once inside the modern theme is continued- all chrome and wooden tables, with wooden floors and black leather seats. It did go through a phase when they had paper table cloths and gave customers crayons with which to doodle, and I used to really enjoy that. However, now, it's normal table cloths!
