    I have visited here twice this year, once in April and just early this morning (around 3am!). The first experience wasn't so good. The waiter took so long to bring our drinks to us, just coffee...

    don't go here

      I have visited here twice this year, once in April and just early this morning (around 3am!).

      The first experience wasn't so good. The waiter took so long to bring our drinks to us, just coffees, and when we asked for some water later it never came. His excuse was "We're very busy". After waiting half an hour for some water (I think half an hour is more than enough time to wait) we got up, paid the bill and walked out!

      This time round though it was a different story. I went with a different lot of friends after a night out clubbing and feeling hungry we ordered a large special pizza to serve four of us. It came in a good amount of time and was the perfect recharge food to soothe our souls!

      The waiter though, wiped our table in front of us while we were talking and one of my friends questioned him on this. He said "You shouldn't have sat here then". What the? Shouldn't the table have already been wiped? Isn't it common sense to wipe a table AFTER the previous customer has left and NOT while new customers are there? That was the only flaw this time round.   (Kye - See my reviews (19) - May, 2011)

      Initially on arrival, the reserved tables were being occupied by other people and i was directed down the back. After asking for the third time I was FINALLY ESCORTED, and the other people were moved

      VERY sow service. I was the first to arrive out of over twenty guest and only managed to receive two drinks for the duration of the meal.

      I ordered pizza, It was rather cold. Our meals came very scattered, The first to arrive was an atipasto. Between the first persen receiving thei meal and the last there must have been 15-20 min.

      Very dissatisfied. Pizza was cold despite being on two alumnium trays!??   (August, 2008)

    • Overall 8.8 - Food 8, Ambience 9, Value 10, Service 8

      Had a great time at your restaurant. The waiting staff were very helpfull at the start, but then they were scarce. Iits great to ge left for a little while in order to wait for people to arrive and look at the menu, but too long and your patrons will start getting fidgety. Over all it was a great night and the food was just what we wanted.   (March, 2008)
