Restaurants that have been around forever, in touristy locations, frequented by tourists are not things that inspire confidence. Think Angus Steak Houses, Hard Rock Cafe's at the extreme end. Some are better, there's Simpsons in London as well, which isn't terrible. At best though they tend to be happy to revel in their reputations and charge a fortune to those that can't find a better recommendation whilst serving up mediocre food. As our names were taken down by a waiter at Candido and put on a list for twenty minutes later a la Planet Hollywood it seemed this would be the case. Things didn't improve when on returning at the allotted time we had to wait in a scrum of people for our names to be called out. So it was with suprise and delight that we started eating and found out the food was really excellent.
