Eating & Drinking Guide 2009

The List's Eating & Drinking Guide 2009 is now in the shops. This review is taken from the 2008 edition.

Situated right at the top of Princes Square, November is a light, airy cocktail bar and café which offers seating 'outside' on the balcony, looking down to the shops below, or under the interior's cupola. It offers a variety of dishes to tempt wearied shoppers or friends meeting up over a glass of wine. As well as sharing plates, such as the Mediterranean platter of olives, tomatoes, meats and various dips, there are light dishes such as bite-size Italian meatballs in pesto and tomato sauce, and smooth chicken liver pâté served with chunks of barely toasted rustic bread and a delicate pear chutney. More substantial servings include burgers, sandwiches and salads, as well as chilli, curry and pasta. But there are also options beyond the usual pub favourites, such as a risotto flavoured with asparagus tips and wild mushrooms and topped by a crisp parmesan tuille. Although the tables appear to be rather close together, November feels buzzy rather than crowded and, during the day, it offers a separate children's menu to cater for shopping families.

  • High point: Pleasant location
  • Low point: Service can be a bit slow

Comments for November (Princes Square, Glasgow)

1. Norrie, Glasgow – 3 April 2009, 1:51pm(1)Report

Very slow service, approximately 35 mins before getting food. Glass of coke was filled to the top with ice, very little coke the glass.
Food when it arrived was overcooked.
Chicken skewers were cremated instead of chargrilled.
Chicken in the fajitas was overcooked and dry. Onions and peppers were frazzled.
Croutons in the Ceaser Salad were not crunchy but soft and doughy.
2 bowls of chips arrived cooked totally differently, one bowl seemed undercooked.
Uncle Ben's boil in the bag rice with the Checken skewers meal was ok.
Service staff seemed apologetic and reduced the bill.
However, in no way would I ever consider going back to this restaurant.

Picked November for a girly outing to celebrate friend's birthday as we were looking to start the night with a few cocktails. (Big Disappointment) all our cocktails came in 1/2 pint lager glasses with 2 black straws ,that was it (yuk). No matter what cocktail we ordered they all came in the same way. Presentation 0/10. Take my advice and go else where, not worth the money.

If you want to have some food and a drink - choose somewhere that you custom is valued. Poor value for money all round.
12 of us on a hen night. We arrived at out reserved table to find some of our seats missing(other customers had taken them). After ordering all 3 courses and having waited another hour after we had finished the starter we had to remind the staff we still had not received our 'mains' and eventually we received out sweets. The whole meal took over 3 hrs! We ordered a jug of water with the other alcoholic drinks, and even after waiting 35 minutes, we still had no water. We paid the meal/drinks bill, but our change was never returned. All in all not a very customer friendly place.
