"We made a reservation in advance for a party of 11 to celebrate a family birthday at this restaurant. We left a deposit and pre-ordered from the tapas menu. When we arrived just before 7.30pm as scheduled, 2 members of our group were running a few minutes late as they were unfamiliar with the area and got lost. We were immediately asked for our drink orders before we even had a chance to sit down, which didn't leave us much time to look at the wine list. Initially, we were told there was no chardonnay available, but eventually a bottle was found. There was no draft lager or beer, only a limited selection of large bottles such as Peroni, which quickly ran out and we had to settle for two small bottles instead. The food was served very quickly after we ordered, which surprised us as we were expecting a more leisurely tapas experience. The quality of the food was mediocre at best. The service felt rushed, with the waitress constantly hovering and clearing our plates before we had finished eating. For dessert, we were informed that we could not bring our own birthday cake as they offered a limited dessert menu. Unfortunately, there were only two dessert options available, and one of our group members received the wrong flavor of creme brûlée. When one of us requested coffee, we were told the machine was broken and no alternative was offered. By 8.40pm, the waitress was already wearing her coat and seemed eager to finish her shift. Since our taxi was scheduled to pick us up at 10pm, we hurriedly finished our drinks and ended up going to the pub next door to wait for our ride. Overall, we were very disappointed with the rushed service and mediocre food quality, and we do not plan to return to this restaurant."
