"When we arrived at 7:50pm, the restaurant was quiet but there were several tables not cleared. We asked to be seated away from the door to avoid a draft but were initially told that this would not be possible. The girl who “greeted” us was sullen and dismissive. We were eventually seated at a good table. The same sullen young lady brought out the menus and practically threw the kids one at our 7 year old. When she returned to take our order her terseness was rude and unwelcoming. The drinks arrived but were simply plonked down on the table. The starters arrived in good time but were not cleared, even after the mains arrived. I had to ask for them to be taken away. My daughter’s starter had a mouldy tomato in it!!! The second washers (dark hair and glassses) was lovey and helpful but this will be our last time coming here. £60 for two pizzas, two drinks and a kids menu is a lot to pay when the service is this poor. Second rubbish PE experience in as many visits…. Cold food in Cardiff last time. We’re definitely fine with the brand. Franco Manca is infinitely better. Mark"

Had a really nice meal at Pizza Express for my son’s birthday. It was particularly nice to be able to sit outside on the terrace. Only complaint was that service was rather slow and several times I had to prompt them to take our order.

Absolutely NOT. Every time I’ve been here it’s been a total disaster and this was my final straw. Over half the orders were either made incorrect or late to the table. The serving staff were however very friendly and apologetic, and seemed just as stressed as we were. Perhaps a issue with the kitchen as we noticed others also had issues with food. Would not go to this location again.

Arrived and was left standing at the entrance being ignored, finally was spoken to and shown to our table, menus practically thrown at us, the table was dirty, seats had more food on them than I could see on a table being served their meals, glasses were filthy. The table two got away was empty and had not been cleared, ice cream literally dripping off it on to the floor next to us. We waited and waited for nearly 15 minutes and no one came, the restaurant had no more than 8-10 tables with customers at, after 15 mins we decided to leave, walked passed the waitress who sat us down and she didn’t even speak with us. We went next door to Frankie and Bennys where the service was awesome, food wa...

"Visited on a busy Saturday evening. General impression is the restaurant is clean, well presented and evidently well liked for how many people were in the small dining area. A little noisy, particularly in the confined space beside the kitchen, when seated close beside a louder table. As the evening progressed, we felt quite cold not sure if the heating was on? Service from the staff was outstanding, very friendly, polite, attentive, but food was slow to arrive. We were a little perplexed by having the appetiser on the table before our starter/main order had been taken, so having to work around still having the menus. The smoked butter was very strong my partner liked it, it was too much for me. Both fish starters were good, with the mackerel our favourite. The main courses were OK. The lamb was fine, but served with lamb fat root veg meant the whole plate was very similar flavoured, and the green beans/salsa verde felt like an afterthought. The skate wing was nice, and the crispy capers were a new and pleasant experience. The desserts rescued the food for me the creme brulée was outstanding, and the chocolate special was very good, with exception of a slightly chewy meringue. I feel I'm being picky with my criticisms, but fig tree is definitely priced higher than other more standard fare restaurants in Plymouth where we have also had very good food."
