I visited here with friends four friends last night for the first time (we previously have been loads of times and enjoyed in when it was Baroccos) The refurbishment was excellent and much needed and the food was fine (not fantastic) but enjoyable apart from my starter brushetta with goats cheese as the brushetta was burnt. As soon as we arrived we ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc as we do in all the restaurants we visit monthly when we meet up. We ordered a second bottle at the table but they had run out and offered us a bottle of rose Prosecco instead which was lovely and refreshing. My complaints about the restaurant are: There was no gap between courses - the garlic bread arrived with the starter followed by the main course with no time lapse and the next thing we were being asked about sweets. The young staff must have asked us about seven times how are evening went and by 10:00 they were clearing up behind us drying and clattering all the knives and forks and obviously anxious to get rid of us. So as we are used to our relaxing evenings locally at the former Baroccos, Toby Inn Edgworth, San Marino Belmont, Budda Lounge Ramsbottom, this was not the case. The bill, we couldn't believe - it was extortionate for what we had as two of us just ate pasta. It came to over £30 per head and we had only had two bottles of wine. Normally we drink at least four or five for that price and are left to chill and relax. The Sauvignon Blanc was priced at an amazing £20 per bottle and the Prosecco £18. The mark up on these nice but average wines was way too much and the young staff clearly wanted to leave early - so we were left very much disappointed and will be sticking to our regular haunts from now on - which is a shame as it is very local.
