La Balena - Italian Restaurant
Terribly loud with all of the vast, hard surfaces bouncing around the noise from kitchen open to dining area plus diners loud voices . Annoying background music added to the racket. Being seated at small table in centre column felt like dining in a corridor with customers and staff constantly wafting to and fro inches away from our meals and drinks. Table for two too small to hold two dinner plates, side plates, wine glasses, water glasses, bottle of wine, carafe of water plus condiments and six sets of cutlery. Those for courses not ordered were not removed. Manager or someone continually hovering distractingly whilst micromanaging waitresses. Lighting far too bright. Plush seats which will be difficult to keep clean. Not a place to go for an intimate, romantic meal at all. Over £100 for two course meal with house wine and coffee for us both. Though open through the day there is only the expensive dinner menu to choose from. All of the above a terrible shame as food was delicious!

Food was very good. Portion sizes perfect.Wrong order arrived at my table but quickly rectified and apology given. Beer is expensive but overall good value for money.

Table of 4, good all-round.Food was delicious, could’ve been hotter though and cooled down very quickly.Service good, waiting staff should wait for a reply when giving a service check.
