"Hello, I came to Zizzis yesterday evening with my work colleagues as our Christmas meal. I called beforehand and the woman I spoke to was very helpful confirmed I could extend our booking from 8 to 12 people which I greatly appreciated. When we got there the booking could not be found, causing me stress with everyone else when in fact it was there all along and the person at the front didn’t look properly. Once we were seated we were given our waiter for the evening who unfortunately was not helpful in any way at all. We ordered two portions of olives, only one appeared. My friend ordered a meat pizza and when he came and bought it to her she asked for some extra pizza sauce to which he replied with it’s got meat on it, is that the meat you eat? (She was Indian and it just came across quite insensitive) I don’t think he smiled once during the entire 2 hours we were there He refused to engage with us, or ask if the meals were okay Trying to ask for more drinks made us feel bad as it appeared to be a very tiresome task for him to do his job Unfortunately I did not get his name as no one at Zizzis wore name badges last night. I was deeply disappointed in the service we had for our Christmas meal yesterday evening. I understand it was busy however it was a case of this one persons awful attitude that seemed to ruin our meal. Please contact me via email on [hidden email] to discuss further. Thanks Jeminie"

"Have never eaten here, but only ever heard positive feed back. Cousins birthday, I do not live in the area so rang to order some bottles of bubbles for the table. Only writing this as experience was very upsetting and I am still shocked. I spoke with a lady, explained cousin having birthday dinner (I did get name wrong that table was ordered under) so wanted to make sure was correct table. She said I was loud and shouting. I have a loud voice (nodules on voice box). But its also naturally loud as well. I do not raise my voice, it is not my style also my voice loud enough. It doesnt need raising. We finally worked out correct table, I then thought she had gone to get payment machine. But she just hung up. So I called back, another waitress answered. I explained previous call and again asked if I could pay over phone for bottles of bubbles. I was asked to wait a moment whilst she fetched the machine. Whilst I waited I had to listen to what herself and the first waitress were saying about me. Won 't lie, it was very upsetting and I 'm quite a tough cookie. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional as well as hurtful. When she came back on phone I politely told her I heard all their conversation, she went quiet and apologised then asked if still wanted the bubbles. I politely replied 'I don 't think so '. Not sure what to take away from this experience. At least cover phone or put on hold if your going to talk badly about someone who wishes to spend money whom you have never met............"

"I found this place by accident one day and I'm so glad I did, my Husband and I love this place and when we take our Daughter (age she loves it too. Hubby usually gets Mussels in a tomato sauce iv tried them...fabulous) The Fillet steaks are always cooked exactly the way we want (Med to rare). Can I say Iv tried Diane sauce many many times and their Diane sauce is absolutely superb (different BUT BETTER) than anywhere. Casa Mia pasta is lovely and creamy, fresh and very filling. My Daughters favourite is macaroni cheese and she absolutely loves the garlic bread with cheese. There are so many lovely dishes on their menu Iv tried most of them) and I can honestly say I have never left disappointed or hungry, I'm very surprised by previous review about portion sizes I NEVER finish my meal as I'm so full with the courses couldn't contemplate a dessert my Daughter assures me they are the best). The staff are really good at what they do even if they are mega busy they still stop to chat and always ask if we enjoyed our meal. I had been unwell with Covid and my appetite wasn't quite back so left quite a bit of my meal the last time we visited, the Manager came to ask if I hadn't enjoyed my meal as I'd left so much. I have ONE wee thing, I love Pate but don't like terrine, so Chef La Belle can I have Pate that isn't terrine, PLEASE Really fab little place please try it for yourself, I'm so glad we did. This is our go to times a month. PS, Chi Chi cocktail is devine"
