The past 2 weeks I have been trying to sort out an office party for about 9 people. I emailed a few places, some were helpful, some weren´t and some didnt reply.
We are in a "crisis". Many restaurants are doing menu del dias, or doing half price meals on Cooldeals and other discount websites etc. So if they are able to do that, then if they wanted to, they could do a deal for an office party.
Last year we went to Smallworld which was lovely. We all would have been happy returning this year, but we did feel we should try somewhere different. But, personally, if you are looking for somewhere which serves everything and does it good, I wouldnt hesitate in calling Smallworld.
My choices were
Marbella Club
Polo House
Nueva Kascada
La Casita.
I wrote nice emails to most of of them, explaining we what I would like. 9 people, that live here, some whom have never been to their restaurants etc. Could they do a set menu at the specified price.
Ok, the results
Marbella Club - a pretty bad reply email sent from a Blackberry, no Dear or Estimada, saying, we all wish we could have menu at that price.
Polo House - Still waiting for a response.
Nueva Kascada - after finally getting the email through, they did respond with a choice of menus. The restaurant is lovely and the service was fantastic, but the menus just didn´t do it for me. It was 2 of the main things I or some people dont eat. Carpaccio & Shellfish. But very helpful.
La Casita - phoned, explained what I wanted. They said they need to speak to the chef and I will call me back. They called back, menu sounded amazing. La Casita it is!
Will tell you if it was a success next week! But having been there once before, I think it will be!.
