Good atmosphere and nice decor. Service disappointing, food very good, some may find portions small for the price. Our booking was for Sunday at 6pm and initially we were only offered a limited, pre-theatre fixed price menu, two courses (starter and main) for £22. On request, we were given the à la carte menu, but told we could only order pasta or pizza. We felt prices were on the high side, but don't know how they compare with other city centre eateries. (I paid far less for similar in London in the summer. ) Re service, we had three different servers. I asked at least two of them for water for the table. I eventually got one glass. Water should be offered as standard. One server in particular seemed completely disorganised and inattentive. We gave up on anyone offering to bring the bill and I paid at the desk. It was only after we'd left that I realised a service charge had been added. Yes, I should have paid more attention, and asked gor the itemised bill, but even so in my view the customer should decide on the tip. As a guide, we had two pasta dishes, one dessert, a small and large wine at a cost of £65.
