We did not receive a friendly greeting and had to wait for about 20 minutes before being seated at our table. The noise level was very high, making it difficult to have a conversation. The staff seemed unfriendly and the food was only average. Overall, I would not return to this restaurant based on the experience we had.

I emailed them last minute to accommodate a few more guests for my daughter's 8th birthday, and it was no problem at all. From the beginning to the end, everything was fantastic. They even had balloons on the table, sang happy birthday, and brought out a cake and candles. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was great. A special shoutout to Vittorio for being so wonderful. He truly made my daughter's birthday special. Apologies for not taking any photos, we were just enjoying the moment.

We arrived at the reserved table time to be met by a wall of people waiting for tables, I announced our arrival at the bar and we were soon seated. First impressions, the ethos was not quality and comfort, rather let’s cram in as many people as we can, and bluster our way through service, fair enough, business is business. Starter, passable, but the reason for this review was my main course, a Vegetarian dish of Pasta with aubergine and caramelised onion, with a garlic and parsley sauce, drizzle of balsamic vinegar. The reality of the dish was a bowl of pasta with said aubergine and caramelised onion, omitting any sauce other that the bowl of balsamic vinegar that soaked everything, rendering the meal inedible, and I did try, hungry at the wait of 35 minutes between starter and main course. When the uneaten course was snatched from the table had the waiter asked if there was a problem I would have said, but he didn’t, and in being this a special occasion I was not going to pursue and embarrass the company. The experience? Big tables got better service, food, poor.
