    Going in with lofty expectations, Bruco ended up being alright. The food came out quite staggered which left me slightly disappointed. I would've liked to have been able to eat my flatbread with my steak! The taste and presentation was great, but due to a long wait between plates arriving I was left feeling unsatisfied. It felt like they could've done with one more server in there. Some options were unavailable on the menu due to a busy weekend, which is understandable. Bruco would be a good date spot, or for a dinner where you want to prioritise talking to your guest. Bruco was worth going to, but probably won't be a high priority for me to return to.

    It was our first time visiting here and we really enjoyed the experience. The good was great and the service was even better. I didn't get the blonde waitresses name but she was really friendly and attentive. We would recommend and come back again :)

    Bruco was amazing! It was my first time going, and it did not disappoint. There was a slight delay for getting our table ready, however we were all given a glass of wine on the house which we really appreciated. The food itself was fantastic - smaller sized plates which suited us well, so we didn’t feel stodged. Our waitress was absolutely lovely too! Overall, a great evening and we will definitely be back again.
