La Margherita

After last visit to this resteraunt I shall not be retuning! Slow service (90 minutes for starters to arrive) Mains were cold, waiter was rude and aggressive when we complained about the food and manager was no better. The place was so over crowded my guests has to crawl under the table to get out! Health and safety went out of the window!

Sorry, last review should have been for LA REGATTA

I have been going to La Regatta for about 6 years now, and have enjoyed every visit. I even had my wedding reception there back in 2003. I have always found the staff very helpful and attentive. The food is always fantastic, and there is now quite an extensive tapas menu. To me, even now, its like nipping to Spain for the evening. Definitely recommended

Despite a change of menu (and a rising of expected prices) the food was generous and delicious, the service was very good and it had a very pleasant atmosphere! Would definitely recommend - even though it's a bit more expensive. The "Banana Flamb�e" was a real delight!

Having just read the previous review let me warn anyone who likes good food and service about going to this restaurant.The service is awful, 25 minutes to get our drinks at the table which included a warm bottle of rose, when we complained they put it in an ice bucket and suggested we wait a while before drinking it! Rushed to finish as they wanted to clear the table, A sort of modern day Italian Fawlty Towers, miserable chief waiter and dippy waiters and waitresses. Menu comes in 2 ways, traditional standard italian pizza, pasta and al la carte. There were 10 of us fortunatley 9 ordered from the cheaper menu. Pizza was hopeless about 3/4 inch thick stodgy dough and underdone topping, greasy lasagne. if the one al la carte is any thing to go by then leave well alone "boil in the bag" lamb shank. Half cooked starters, ceaser salad was ok.like the previous review it was not even busy.Just to give the place a balanced view if you are not in the least bit interested in food, its a laugh, people come for the disco that goes on until late and it does have some atmosphere!
