    Entree of calamari and meatball were delicious but the Thursday special chicken Parma was very disappointing…I think there was more crumb than chicken, the sauce was good, the chips were under cooked then the Parma put on top so they were soggy. Food is usually really good, we will be back but will get Parmas elsewhere from now on.

    Unfortunately booking through open table (a week in advance) we were placed right at the door which was really cold everytime someone went in or out and that was regularly. The food was average, mostly overcooked (steak and fish) and when I received my pasta, whilst tasty it was cold on top and I had to dig into the centre of the bowl to retrieve the warm bits. Added to this the food came out at various stages with the fish coming well after everyone else had received theirs. I was the one who chose this place as I had been there with some friends for lunch and was impressed. But this was a disappointment. I will admit that they did not charge for the fish which kind of made up for the dryness. However, in saying that, there is a variety to chose from, our table possibly chose the wrong things. The risotto came with an impressive decoration and the prices are reasonable. Maybe a warm evening might be a better time to visit but if you are going to go on a cold winter's night ring and make sure that you aren't in the doorway. Open table does not tell you where you are sitting.

    Had the pasta with seafood. The seafood was off, it definitely was not fresh. The pasta was warm not hot and it had not been drained well as there was water remaining at the bottom of the dish. Most times I have been there I have had few problems but I certainly did not enjoy the food last night.
