Description

Alba restaurant offers a blend of memorable dining moments and notable disappointments. While the food can shine, as seen in dishes like the refreshing strawberry dessert and fresh fish offerings, inconsistencies mar the overall experience. Reviews highlight bland seasonings, poorly timed service, and lackluster atmosphere, particularly during busy evenings. Despite the high prices and some commendable wine selections, many patrons have expressed frustration over underwhelming meals and staff indifference. For special occasions, Alba may still hold appeal, but diners should approach with tempered expectations, as not every visit guarantees the anticipated culinary delight.

Wow, a place that seemed nice at a glance but turned out to be far from that.

The only thing stopping me from giving me this place a 4 star is that we got stuck with a grouchy waitress.

We've never been disappointed here, on the occasions when we could get in at allIt's in the GFG, and you can taste why.

The restaurant cancelled our booking on the day we we were due to go because of unforseen circumstances. We were on holiday and this was supposed to be a special evening, we were so looking forward to going. Due to it being such short notice we were unable to book somewhere else, we were hugely disappointed not impressed with being let down at the last minute.

The food was outstanding and the restaurant was really nice but unfortunately the service needs to be addressed, Perhaps a bit of 5 star training to match the food would make this place the experience it deserves.
