This restaurant was great! I contacted them in advance to discuss having my 30th Birthday there on Saturday 18th May 09. Communications were fast via email and telephone calls to answer any questions I had. They gave me a table that fit all 20+ of my party on, in front of the lovely first floor windows and although they put a small fresh flower display on each table they gave me freedom to decorate the tables to my own theme in advance.
Reading reviews in advance I wasn't expecting brilliant food BUT I was very suprised. I had the stuffed mushrooms followed by the Chilli Gamborini. DELICIOUS - and wonderfully home-cooked, fresh and tasty. Across the table all my birthday guests commented very positively about the quality of the food. I would have been pleasently suprised if I was on a dinner date for 2, never mind this consistant standard for a very large party.
The service was excellent and food came out well paced, hot and with professionalism. We had a few waiters who were very attentive with drinks orders and pouring wine/champagne.
I can't recommend them enough for a special occasion that you are keen to go without hiccups and with plenty of smiles from all diners.
