A few weeks ago, my husband and I with another couple, had dinner at "The Wine Underground" and enjoyed it so much, that my husband took me there for lunch very recently. What a disappointment. The entrees were lovely, but after waiting 45mins and even then had to ask for them, we realised that the service was very slack. By... More

We went more recently to the wine underground, with some friends. We went with pizzas and wine. The service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the wine. We ate the pizzas with our hands, they were a bit hard to cut, but they were delicious. We enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant and had a great time. More

Was a little like the TV show. It seems like all the restaurants now go for presentation rather than quantity. So if you are after a pub meal then go to a pub. This is not the place for that. The meal is presented as one would expect from a place that advertises fine dining. From the time we entered... More

Our waiter was very good, knowledgable on the menu (both food and wine), able to discuss any item without hesitation. Don't get me wrong, the food was tasty, but even for a degustation, there was laughably little. This may be a personal matter, but i was super disappointed to see only two pieces of tortellini - yes only two, in... More

Awful service, sloppy dressed and too casually spoken for a fine dining restaurant. They dragged tables all around us- rearranging the room for the next day whilst we were still eating!! Food is way overpriced for tiny serves and the atmosphere could be lovely but seemed empty. Don't go there. I've even written a letter of complaint since we spent... More
