Prefered Antibos in West One. Was OK, meatballs a bit spicy and the spaghetti a bit overcooked. Wine expensive for cheap tasting wines. The homemade pizza is good though and the humungous profiteroles taste fab.

Went on NYE at 5pm. Food below average, understaffed, but very friendly and hard working waiting staff who managed to keep everything going.

Drinks quite expensive with limited range. Not a very proactive bar service. Wasn't sure what I wanted, so the bar staff walked away - no one else there.

Showed to our table and promised table water. After four times of asking it arrived... it wasn't even too busy at this point.

Had to search for waiting staff to order food after 25 mins.
Starters okay, nothing special.

Waited 30 mins for main, only for waiting staff to let us know they had run out of some of the meals (surely this should have been checked on order) and could we reorder.

Having had a starter and not being a meat eater it did not leave much choice, we were put under real pressure. Therefore further delays in eating. Some of the food arrived cold and some didn't arrive... had to seek out waiting staff.

We were given two free bottles of wine (not really needed or wanted as an apology from the chef) which I suppose was a suitable gesture. The food again was okay, nothing speical, but I guess it never claimed to be.

We had been told on booking that we must vacate the table by 7.15. Due to the delays in ordering, serving and actually dealing with the meals we were unable to have pudding or coffee...

The big problem came with the bill. We worked it out accurately; some people paid on card and some by cash. We counted the money and it was accurate. This was witnessed and the cash payers were certain that there money was on the tray and had evidence from the left overs from recent cash withdrawals.

The waiter returned to say it was out by £19...so more or less, £20 was missing. We searched the floor, bags, pockets, purses for a mistake. Checked cash withdrawals with money left in purses...it could not have been down to us.

So if you go there, check your money, check it with the waiting staff before they leave and if there is a discrepancy let them deal with it. We ended up paying another £20, which was probably the restaurants way of getting there money back for the wine...

Most of us will never ever go back.

I went a few weeks back. It really wasn't up to much, average food, average serce, all in all pretty dull.

Hehe, who'd be a restaurateur? All you're doing is slogging your guts out in order to be judged and/or criticised by everyone who walks through your door. (not a dig at previous posters, just an on-going observation)

I've learned that you can't please everyone and that's become something of a motto ...having said that though, I would never knowingly send out a plate of cold food or walk away while someone was umm-ing & aah-ing over their drinks order.

Good luck Felicini's, sounds like you're going to need it!

There must be some good reviews cos when my friend and i tried to go there TWICE few months back, it was either fully booked or we had to wait for half hour!!
Or is it a novelty thing as its a new restaurant??

My girlfriend went with her friends and they loved it. They said the portions were generous and the service was spot on.

I've just got back from a meal there. The food was great, just the right size portions, and the waiting staff were v efficient.

I went for a meal there about 2 weeks ago and although the place looks pretty good the food was a bit of a let down. I had to send my meal back as it was covered in chili (didn't say on the menu it was even spicy!) It was so hot I couldn't eat it. Apparently when they gave it to the chef to try he agreed it was awful! When I did get my meal about 20 minutes after my fellow diners it was pretty bland. I don't often complain about restaurants but I can get crap food at home for free!!

i was reading an article in the metro newpaper the other which said food was really good ...but it said the protions where over generous and and food tended to be left.....who cares hey?! ...as long as your full :)

Sorry voodoo, but we are paying a lot of money to restaurants and for the price we pay we expect good food and good service. If a restaurant provides such a lousy service it should be willing to take the criticism. We eat out a couple of times a week and spend a lot of money in Sheffield restaurants. When a restaurant delivers, it gets a good review, when it doesn't, then it gets the same treatment.

You can look at some of my previous posts if you doubt this.

All I can say, if you want to take our money, you must provide the service.
We had a bad time at this restaurant.

No, you're quite right pippadoll, I wasn't having a dig at you. It sounds like you had every reason to be unhappy that night. There are some people out there who have made moaning and complaining a bit of a hobby though; you meet them from time to time. They're never happy no matter what you do and if they are, they certainly don't let on!

We'd love to see you at Seasons sometime soon. I've recently taken over the running of the restaurant and on quieter nights it's just me out front and my dad, the seasoned pro in the kitchen. I may not be the most refined and expert wine waiter quite yet but I'm as friendly and helpful as I can possibly be and I promise I wont put down a cold plate of food in front of you!

I went there last week, it was quiet. I thought the service was good but the food portions were small and on a big plate! lol Although what i had was nice :)

My wife and I went Wednesday afternoon (17th January). It was 'okay', a big, reliable 'okay'. I love the decor and the toilets must be the cleanest in the region.

The food was fine. I had a pizza which was generous in size though in all honesty I lost interest in it halfway through.

The staff were fairly attentive and the place seemed lively for a mid-week afternoon.

Our bill was £25 which I don't think is too bad, not when you consider that the (admittedly, large) bottle of sparkling mineral water cost (I think) £3.50!!

I'd give it 7 out of ten.

(NB: I'll be back on the ale come February.)
