Went for a spontaneous dinner, table of 7, 6 eating. Accommodating at short notice but unfortunately sub par service and bland food. Despite not being very busy we had to wait quite a while to order including prompting the staff to attend our table, having thought we needed to order at the bar. Order 6 pizzas, a bottle of white wine, a jug of red, 2 x diet cokes and, 2 x ciders… In any restaurant I ever been too, or worked in, drinks tend to come before food, but not here… We received the two Ciders around the same time as the food, and asked for the rest of the drinks…by the time most of the table had eaten half of their meal the one incorrect pizza came out, at this time we asked again for the rest of our drinks, we received the diet cokes… shortly after we asked again for the rest of our drinks - and… nothing. One of our party went to the bar and asked for our drinks, we then got the jug of red, upon receiving this we again we asked for the rest of our drinks - a bottle of white - by which time most of the table was 3 parts the way through/finishing their ‘bland’ meals. No condiments on the table or offer of in an attempt to add flavour to a very bland, slightly burnt meal or check back until most of the party had finished. Absolutely no insinuation of an apology for very very poor service. Very disappointed and unexpected considering recommendations. Deffinitely won’t be heading back - go to red hot mammas for much much better pizzas and far...
Read moreChose to eat here based on its good reputation. First off, the food was decent. A tad lukewarm, but tasty and good quality overall. Unfortunately, this was let down by the service, which was poor and bordered on hostile. Upon entry, my colleague and I waited to attract the attention of staff who indicated an available table without actually approaching or speaking to us. We then had to wait an extended period before anyone came to offer menus or take an order. Once the order was placed there was another extended period before food or drinks arrived, at which point the waiter walked away without providing the cutlery needed (there were no forks on the table). Had to chase these down as the food couldn’t be eaten without them. When we mentioned this to the member of staff who brought appropriate cutlery, the response was frankly shocking and reminiscent of reality tv. We were told that we were lucky to have been given a table (despite the restaurant not being full at any point during our stay) and to check the online ratings before complaining. I will reiterate that the foot was of a good quality, but not exceptional. With this level of service, along with other aspects (e.g. that the bins had been removed from toilets so there was nowhere to dispose of hand towels), it was a disappointment and certainly not somewhere I...
Read moreWe had a wonderful dining experience at Leopard Spots last night. The pizza was absolutely fantastic - the base was perfectly soft and warm, creating that ideal texture you hope for in authentic Italian pizza. What really stood out was the restaurant's pleasant ambiance; it was refreshingly quiet and relaxed, especially compared to some of the louder establishments we visited earlier that evening.
The menu was beautifully concise, making it easy to choose without feeling overwhelmed by endless options. Everything felt thoughtfully curated rather than cluttered. Perhaps most impressive were the very reasonable prices - excellent value for the quality of food and experience we received.
The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere made for a perfect evening out. Leopard Spots strikes that wonderful balance between quality Italian cuisine and a comfortable, welcoming environment. We'll definitely be...
