2 of us had dinner, followed by 2 more joining for dessert and drinks.Lovely welcome, smiley receptionist directed us to Pre dinner drinks on the terrace. Good environment but angry faced waiting staff and poor sound system spoil the atmosphe here. I had to go and ask about our table rather than being found to be told when my table was ready, not ideal.Quite good decor and atmosphe in the restaurant, relaxing but lively and open kitchen to see. tables too close together though, feels more cafe
Lovely welcome, smiley receptionist directed us to Pre dinner drinks on the terrace. Good environment but angry faced waiting staff and poor sound system spoil the atmosphe here. I had to go and ask about our table rather than being found to be told when my table was ready, not ideal.
Quite good decor and atmosphe in the restaurant, relaxing but lively and open kitchen to see. tables too close together though, feels more cafe than fine dining.
We shared starters. Prawns were fresh and flavoursome. We had the mushroom starter too which was disappointing, lacked seasoning, and included chinese mushrooms which is odd for an italian. Salad ok, but nothing amazing.
Main courses. Linguini vongole arrived undercooked, we like al dente but this was in the " its still flour" category. Good news is waiter agreed, immediately replaced with a new one. Actually pretty good, needs more garlic, but generally well executed. I had the veal which was well flavoured, but a little dry. Sauce was nice and i would order again.
Worth commenting on wine, selection, which was cheap, decent selection, and comes in various carafe sizes which is great. Wine is a plus.
Service, generally excellent in the restaurant. We had a very enthusiastic and helpful waiter for the first hour, but oddly he vanished and for the second half we were covered by a variety of different staff, of mixed quality. The head waiter used to work at shiro in PacificPlace, recognised us, was very helpful. Good if they can assign a waiter to a table and keep them on it.
Overall decent enough, not very excitimg, but won't fill you with anger. Wait staff on the terrace need some smile training. And its oberpriced for what it is, so need to improve food, environment and service for that price, or drop prices.
