Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was wonderful - I highly recommend the bruschetta and the burrata!"
• "Ordered the lasagne and sea bass - both were excellent."

Cons:

• "Food is overpriced too and of poor quality: the starters were minuscule; my lasagna was obviously microwaved."
• "Extremely overpriced, food portion didn't feed a small child, and it was microwaved."
• "The caprese is a bit of a joke - have you so little shame that you want to make a quick buck by serving customers two smallish mozz balls previously frozen and 3-4 cherry tomatoes?"
• "Very small portion of tagliatelle carbonara, which was tasty but cold; totally cold!"
• "Absolutely terrible food, service and overall dining experience."
• "We found the food expensive for the small amounts you get."

• "Quite average and overpriced wine list."
• "It's £11 for a 175ml glass of sauvignon (New Zealand) - that's way overpriced for a place such as this."
