"This was mine and my wife’s first visit to Titos and our initial impression was that this was a very smart little restaurant, with a relaxed vibe and with good smelling food cooking away in the background. Unfortunately the experience went downhill from there. First we were told there was no ice in the restaurant so they couldn’t make sangria and the waiter, who also seemed to be the manager, advised they couldn’t go out and get any as they were short staffed. We then settled on a beer for me and a wine for my wife which the waiter later admitted he forgot about, which was after we chased him for our drinks. We were also told that as we had a 7.45pm booking and the kitchen closed at 8, we had to choose our food ASAP otherwise they couldn’t cook what we wanted. Why take a 7.45pm booking then and why offer no flexibility in timings, especially as this was a bank holiday weekend so more people than usual would have been in the restaurant? Then we were told that a third of the menu items we chose were unavailable for various reasons anyway.....! The food came in a reasonable time and it was nice but it was still disappointing because it wasn’t really what we had wanted. Also, they forgot to bring us one of the tapas and didn’t even apologise properly when we pointed that out. Worse still, three quarters of the way though our meal we hear and see the same waiter filling an ice bucket with ice. Where did that come from? We tried to flag down some service but by the time we were successful we’d finished our food (and had not once been asked if then food was all okay and as expected, or if we needed another drink) so it was a bit late then to order a big jug of sangria. When challenged regarding the ice the waiter said he was “just about to come over and tell us”. Sadly he had not. Naturally we made our feelings known on the shambolic nature of the meal and service and in the end he agreed we would only pay for the food and not the two drinks we had each had."

"We booked a table for on a Saturday evening for three people, When we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty bar two tables upstairs. We were seated and left with menus for The very young waitress came and took our orders. Our drinks...were a pint, a orange squash and one cocktail. We waited for these and received nothing, our first bits of food arrived before our drinks. When the food arrived we had no cutlery and no plates so we asked for these, the attitude on the server was as though we had asked for his life. How dare we enter a restaurant and want cutlery and plates to eat off. We also asked for our drinks( remember that really difficult order we placed, beer , squash and a cocktail) Eventually our drinks turned up but still no plates or cutlery so the dishes that had arrived where slowly going cold on our table whilst we stared at them wishing we could eat them. When a different waiter passed by we asked him for plates and cutlery and within seconds he brought them along with our other dishes. The first dishes were cold by this time so we asked for them to be reheated. Again we were faced with attitude and rudeness by the server (Andrew i think he was called) How dare we ask for our food to be hot or at least warm enough to eat. Andrew offered to reheat the dishes and return, he never did. We ate the few dishes we were left with which were hot enough and then left, as we went downstairs to pay we were faced with a bill featuring several of the dishes we hadn't received and being charged full price for the ones we had and had had to return due to being cold. Andrew had told us we could have the bill half price due to the shocking service and attitude he showed and yet the bill did not reflect this. We eventually came to an agreement on the bill and left. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING SERVICE. There was a table of who waited about just for drinks and then decided to leave, a couple behind us who hadn't even had a drinks order taken after an hour and a poor couple who were just about to sit when we left. We warned them not to bother, Unless they fancied a very long night. We will not be back and i warn anyone who does visit, take a book and maybe even your PJs and a change of clothes, your in for a long wait."
