Food Quality and Variety
Pros:
"The quality of the food was exceptional, leaving a lasting impression on our palates."
"Everything was so juicy, tasty & flavourful."
"The food was delicious, well thought through and clearly 'created' and prepared on site."
"Food to the perfection level you never expect a restaurant serves like 5 star mayfair hotel in west end!!!"
"Salumi never ceases to amaze me with the quality & standard to their dishes."
"The steak cut like butter on a hot knife."
"The roasted stonebass risotto was out of this world!"
"Food was excellent, but the waitress could do with a little more training in basic service skills."
Cons:
"I ordered the lamb shoulder thinking I it would be very fatty but was absolutely stunning couldn’t fault it."
"I was taken aback by the small menu albeit not necessarily a bad thing but the selection is rather small."
"Food was pleasant and overall experience a bit of a let down."
"He ordered the rump steak was actually too fatty so took home for the dog."
"I could see selt on top of the fish, each mouth full was so selty that I left most of it."
"Only bar table available as fully booked however lots of empty tables."
"Food is thoroughly too expensive for what you get - £14 for fish and 7 chips is not good."
"The food is great (hence the repeat orders), but their time management and customer service is awful."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"The waiter that looked after us was super friendly, knowledgeable and funny."
"Waiting staff good and friendly but did make a couple of mistakes."
"The staff were amazing definitely felt like I was welcome there and really loved every second of it."
"Top marks to the staff. They are welcoming, helpful and very professional."
"Service was excellent, a man ( I guess a manager, as he didn't wear white shirt and apron) who served us, recommend drinks."
"Staff were super friendly. We live in Bournemouth and I would happily drive down to Plymouth again just to eat here."
"The staff are so nice and the truffle mac & cheese is NYC level."
"Staff were very lovely, and the place is decorated nicely."
Cons:
"We had a long wait for the our meal, in actual fact we ordered our meal before the people next to us had arrived and they had theirs first."
"Service took too long meal booked 530 didnt leave til 745 which with 2 young children very difficult."
"Unfortunately our waiter who at first was friendly and helpful turned into an pushy salesman who tried to upsell us at every turn."
"Made it very clear my son could not eat egg, yet his starter came out with an egg sauce, bad communication between staff."
"Whilst the right things were said and done upon entry it was dismaying that we were seated at a table that, whilst initially isolated, soon became surrounded with other diners."
"Every time we get a takeaway roast from Salumi we always have to wait around 30 minutes longer than the time they say we can have our food."
"On arrival I was shocked to be handed a brunch menu with minimal choices."
"But the waitress could do with a little more training in basic service skills, she was a pleasant person but some of her mannerisms were not what I would expect from a restaurant of this standard."
Ambiance and Location

"The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the meal."
"Lovely cozy atmosphere, delicious food!"
"Great little independent restaurant with a good buzzy atmosphere."
"A delightful little place."
"The atmosphere is cosy, the playlist was great, and the food was delicious."
"The place itself looked great and it had a great atmosphere too!"
"Beautiful place, great food but not very welcoming environment or stuff."
"A lovely, quirky warm eatery - staff are super friendly."
Cons:
"Really great food and service, but the initially good ambience was spoiled by a loud man who was sitting down by the bar."
"'Atmosphere' loses one star because the background music does not go well with the otherwise refined ambience."
"Pricey, albeit good food, but unbearably noisy."
"Too much silence and very little privacy."
"The background music was too quiet and any talking was felt as disturbing the ambient."
"The staff had three separate sessions of dragging heavy, classy, furniture over the stone floor just a few feet away from where we were sitting."
"We had probably the best meal since eating at a London Michelin Star restaurant. Staff were super friendly."
"Called in before going to Theatre, (which is a short walk from the Theatre,) we had booked but ended up being late, no fuss was made, lovely friendly and helpful staff."
