we are sorry for you experience with us and thank you for you lengthy review, im just going to go through in points, the fact you state that the restaurant was empty and this should be a warning is a load of rubbish, in fact the restaurant wasn't empty not busy i admit as there was other dinners there as well who had nothing but good to say about the food and restaurant, also you obviously don't know st ives in December to the fact that most restaurants are closed due to the lack of people, and the few open wont be full through the winter, also early evening, so the fact that the restaurant wasnt full for you when you arrived in winter i apologise but this is definitely not a way to look at a restaurants ability but maybe you will understand that as you grow up, now with the comment mentioning that this is"also stated below" they where trying to get free wine for a good review or no wine for a bad i noticed you didnt comment on the good reviews below that one, now the starter not being value for money i suppose for 10 pieces of calamari and salad with garlic or tartar sauce for £5.95 maybe a little expensive for some peoples pockets, but we dont as taking into effect costs etc, but this is also on the menu before you come into the restaurant , ok with the mains the pizza you ordered was a salsicia which comes with one cheese mozzarella and italian sausage and a pocket of ham and pesto and it definitely didn't come out stodge and greasy considering the pizza is cooked in a stone based oven but defiantly not ringing in fat! as you stated and also had more topping than you mentioned due to it being covered over a 30 cm pizza again more bending of the truth, the pizza is cooked on thin base till it is crispy and browned we have sold many of these pizza's to which we have not had any complaints but its maybe just no to your liking,
now your other main spaghetti de la marine as you describe? which we dont sell!..... we sold you a spaghetti frutti de mare and as copied from our menu With mussels, scallops, prawns and fish of the day in a pesto sauce? minus the mussel as you where told by our staff when ordering to which you asked for extra scallops? which you got, and funnily you have just said in your statement wasn't meant to be in the dish???? strange hows it on the menu! now over cooked it wasn't considering you ate the whole dish im sure if anyone wasn't happy with the way it was cooked over cooked tasteless undercooked etc would mention this when first eating their meal?...i would like to add there was a reduction on the dish due to it missing a product from it but we didn't offer a reduction on the pizza due to there being nothing wrong with it other than just personal taste and maybe farleys rusks and milk might be a good choice for you, its a shame that the vast people that we have including people eating on the same night as you don't leave their good comments on this place but that's probably down to them having a life
thank you for your review.
