Bland, uninspired, pizza (but with decent ingredients have to admit) on wrong (ciabatta style) dough with poor size don't make a good impression. Unfortunately same one have ordering food from them on delivery. Same when visited the Main Restaurant down Waterfront (tasteless pastas down there).
Top of the bad things around this place is total lack of heating - bloody freezing !
Summarizing all experiences - Will not get back again
Firstly, I must say, the staff and service was amazing. They were very friendly and polite and the service was punctual, but we were a little cautious when we realised we were the only customers there.
Unfortunately, our concerns became a reality when we ate the food. The Pizzas were barely warm and chewy, the pasta was over-cooked and the glasses we received to drink water were not overly clean, there were fingerprints on the inside.
We finished eating very soon and I explained to the staff I wasn't happy at all with the food. They explained it was a new thing they were testing and it's only been going for a couple of weeks.
I have to also mention, this is the first time I've eaten there since it changed name from Pizza Express and I suspect it's not connected anymore... such a shame because back then, the food was delicious.
In honesty, I should have pushed for at least a discount but I couldn't be bothered and I don't plan on returning there any time soon. A total waste of £22.
Restaurant atmosphere lacked, it was really cold in the restaurant. There were a couple of small tables sat eating when we arrived but after we had ordered they had all gone.
Service was terrible considering the restaurant was mostly empty, staff stood around chatting and food took a long time to come out. No offer of more drinks through the meal.
Food quality was poor, spicy pizza wasn’t spicy at all, antipasti board was missing mozerella with no explanation or apology as to why.
Would not be visiting again when in Swansea.
Haven't been inside this place previously but was quite impressed with the renovation works they have undertaken, the colour scheme and decoration were excellent.
The waitress present was very helpful with both drinks of very good quality. On the strength of this will definitely return to try the food.
The customer service from the waitress was second to none. After seeing that where we were sat there was alot of glare from the low sun, the waitress offered to drop the blinds for us.
The staff member also providied us with take away cups for the remainder of our drinks, as me and my partner were late for an appointment.
