   A pleasant romantic Valentine's meal. Though tables were densely packed together so it wasn't as intimate as it could be and very noisy. The small tables had nightlight candles on them, which were sweet but looked like a waxy spill hazard and at one table near us napkins caught fire. Food was good though service was (predictably) slow. Disappointing range of cocktails. Overall a decent experience with some caveats.

   Nice relaxing meal with the family. We were well looked after and we all enjoyed the food. Good value for money with a good selection on the menu. Portion size was spot on.

   We had a pleasant meal at Zizzi. They had no record of my booking despite it being confirmed but it was 17:15 so they had plenty of room for us. My vegan friend was impressed with the vegan menu, and also the kids’ menu. Service was a little slow & my goats cheese salad came with no goats cheese so I had to return it. We got no apology. The food was great, it’s a shame the service let it down.

   I am very disappointed that we made an Opentable booking at Zizzis and when we arrived they did not have our booking on the system. This is the second time this has happened. We had friends staying for the weekend and this experience ruined our evening. Do not use this app - make a booking directly with the restaurant.

   It was busy and the staff were working hard, but the service was good. Food was mediocre: "spicy" food had no kick and some of the portions were on the small side (e.g., the Ravioli). Not bad but not great either. Ambience was fine for a busy place, but I preferred their previous location near the market - that place had character.

   A below-average experience. They didn't have our booking from OpenTable. In fact, the people in front of us in the queue also appeared to have not had their booking made either. Food was decidedly 'OK'. Being Mothers' Day, staff were rushed off their feet so service was not great. Chairs dirty from previous diners. Table sticky. 'Chocolate Lobster Tail' Special Dessert really quite bad (perhaps this was a frozen product that had been defrosted too quickly). Waitress was helpful. Overall experience wasn't totally awful - but certainly not something I'd recommend or head back to in a hurry.

    Although we booked using Open Table, the restaurant did not have a record of the booking so we had the embarrassment of waiting while a table was allocated. The restaurant greeter informed us that this happens all the time with Open Table bookings. There were four diners in our party. Three of the starters arrived promptly but one didn’t. We asked twice for it to be chased but it didn’t arrive until after the other three had finished theirs. We also had a long wait for the main course which resulted in insufficient time to have a desert or coffee as we had theatre tickets.
