    5 of us had very enjoyable meal - all went for Italian - AntiPasti to start followed by pizzas, spaghetti bolagnaise and a chicken Milano. All tasty and matched by very friendly service. Visited Ambrosia quiet a few times since opened and it gets better and better.

    The food, both Italian and Indian, was excellent. If the manager allowed his staff to take food orders that would improve the service. He appears to take all the food orders at the moment. I would, and I have already, recommended this restaurant.

    Despite a confirmed online reservation, the restaurant was closed for service. Not a great start to a night out. Can't really rate it fairly, hence the poor rating

    Used a Groupon voucher for steak and prosecco which was great value. The staff were friendly and attentive but the steak was under cooked. In the evening the lights need to be turned down for more ambience but the quality of food was good. We will be back.

    Had a lovely meal in Ambrosia on Saturday night, we had a Groupon voucher and the restaurant very kindly altered the menu offering to accommodate us. The Pane starter was absolutely delicious and the tapenada and breads so yummy. The mains of sirloin steak and butternut squash risotto with sides of skin-on fries and rocket salad was fresh and very tasty. All washed down with prosecco and local ale Maggie's leap. Will definitely be back.
