This place came recommended and appears from reviews an excellent venue. We booked for my fathers 60th and was really looking forward. The plus side the staff were excellent, pricing ok and lovely atmosphere. Why then only 3 stars? The food for ok but not great. Starters were fantastic all around but the mains didn't wow anyone. For example I have the Seafood Pasta and to be honest it needed more flavour as the sauce felt bland. My wife said her did was fine but need also more flavour.
Deserts were nice, large portion but I have had better.
Cocktails were mixed review amongst group. I really

Very nice meal! Mostly attentive and helpful staff. No complaints, very pleasant evening out, good atmosphere and venue clean and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone look for a reasonable Italian meal. Valpolicella server at just the right temperature, a good choice of red.

Staff were very pleasant and happy to help but we were disappointed with the food. We probably had the worst version of garlic bread! There were only a few dribbles of olive oil and balsamic vinigar rather than little dipping bowls with bread basket. We could see quite a bit of dust on the floor too... Taking into account location and prices, we were sadly disappointed...
