Zizzi's is another one of those places I thought I had reviewed, but simply haven't and this branch in Spinningfields still holds memories for me, which

While the food was tasty, our experience was somewhat marred by the chilly draft coming through the large glass windows. The atmosphere was not very comfortable. Additionally, when seated in the back of the restaurant, we felt neglected by the waitstaff.

Although the food was delicious, we were sat next to the large glass windows looking out onto the dock which made it very cold and it wasn't a very comfortable atmosphere. Being sat at the back of the restaurant I also felt we were slightly overlooked by waiters.

We were running late so decided to try the Piccadilly branch for the first time. The menu has also changed since our last visit and there are a good range of new dishes plus very reasonable set price menus are also available. We both had the salmon broccoli which was well presented and was really delicious. Service was attentive and very quick. I found the only negative is that the tables are very close to each other.

I have frequented Zizzi restaurants in the past and expected this visit to be as excellent as the others. After receiving my confirmation email, I eagerly took my friend for her first Zizzi experience. When we arrived at the scheduled time, we were informed that the restaurant was closed. I was both frustrated and disappointed as had I known earlier, I could have made alternative plans. Instead, we were turned away at the door with no explanation other than the restaurant being closed. I am not sure how this miscommunication occurred, but I hope it does not happen to anyone else.

Having received my confirmation email I took my excited girlfriend for her very first zizzi experience. Upon arriving at the time I had booked and got specific confirmation for we were told the restaurant was closed. Now as you can imagine I was both dumbfounded and furious. If I had been told the restaurant was closing early I could have made other arrangements and would have been perfectly fine with how things transpired. Instead I turn up completely unaware booking confirmation in hand to be turned away at the door with a sorry we 're closed . I don 't know how this happened...

food was okay what we got, went in before a theatre show arrived at 6 only got our starters at 6.55 and when we asked how far along our mains were as we needed to leave at 7.20, this was at 7.15 I asked to be told she would check and get back to us it got to 7.20 and she hadn't come back so we cancelled our mains. very disappointed with this service and for a starter and a drink it cost us 12 pound each. service was terrible. they were under staffed. I phoned in the day before to inform them we were going to the theatre and we would need to be leaving at 7.15, spoke to a girl called Sophie she was really helpful and put a note on our booking, however the staff that night didn't look at the n...
