   Nothing at all like the picolino in Manchester. Very tired looking restaurant and old fashioned. We had a table for 2 but were practically on top of a table of 20 at a Xmas meal so couldn’t hear our own conversation as the other table were so noisey. Lighting was terrible as well, had a spot light in my face which I did ask them to redirect it but didn’t really improve at all. Asked to move but they couldn’t move us for half an hour so stayed where we were. Food was average ordered the chateaubriand which was absolutely ridiculous as the price was £80 for 2 and all we received was 2 and a half very small slices of steak, definitely not good value for money and will not be returning , very disappointing.

   We’re very sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations. Being a Saturday during the festive season, our restaurant is especially busy with Christmas parties, which can result in a livelier atmosphere than usual. We apologize if this impacted your ability to enjoy a quieter dining experience and we regret that the interior did not meet your preferences. We understand your concerns about the lighting and seating arrangements, and we’re sorry we couldn’t relocate you more promptly. Your feedback on the food is also concerning. We strive to deliver great value and exceptional quality, and it’s disappointing to hear that this fell short during your visit. Your comments have been shared with our team to address these issues and improve where possible.

   I booked a table for 830 and didn’t get seated until 910. Waiting for a table downstairs to become available but I did put on my reservation wheelchair access so I think it’s appalling I waited that long for a table. If people were overstaying their reservation they should have got asked to move to the bar

   Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the wait you experienced on your recent visit. It was an exceptionally busy Saturday, and several guests had requested tables downstairs, where seating is limited. When you arrived, our team did inform you there was a wait, but we understand and regret that this fell short of your expectations, especially given your request for wheelchair-accessible seating. We always strive to accommodate all our guests, and in situations where tables are delayed, we do our best to manage the flow while ensuring everyone feels welcomed. We will review our processes to better handle similar situations in the future and make adjustments where needed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

   I was lucky enough to sit at the bar. I had a wonderful dinner. The bartender was not very friendly, but also a great mixologist! One of the best martinis I've ever had. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Great service. Never felt rushed.

   We ate at 2045, which I know is late. But my lasagne looked like it had just been thrown in a bowl, basically the last of the days bake. It was eatable but presentation was poor

   Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the presentation of your lasagne didn’t meet your expectations, especially during a later dining time. Your experience is important to us, and we’ll use your comments to ensure every dish, regardless of the time, is presented with care. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience
