Very good quality and very tasty food, great service for a very last minute booking. Some sound damping in the room would improve the ambience.

Fantastic overall first Bottomless at Basta. Option of upgrading your drink package from not only wine,and bubbles is a great idea, and we were glad we did. The Margaritas and Espresso Martini’s were delicious. And made fresh to order. The only thing I would include is beer! Food! Delicious, fresh and plenty of it. Antipasto, the pizza and pasta, cannoli. A great place for the hungry lads I would imagine. Staff..they make you want to return with their friendliness, service and care. Good background music. Thank you for memorable overall experience, to which we will return.

Food was fantastic. Had the set menu. Really enjoyed it. Unfortunately service was poor. This may have been because it was so busy.

Very accommodating for a party of 14. One of the few venues that didn't require us to have a set menu with a price of at least $60 per person for a larger number of guests. Food was great.

The kingfisher and green beans were amazing. The setting, atmosphere and buzz feels good. It’s just a shame the service was lacking. They were helpful at the beginning with food choices but then it felt like we never seen them again. For the price point, I think the service needs to be up a level or 2.. There was quite a gap between our starter and main. Overall it was an average experience. Not what I was hoping for.

Overpriced pasta was undercooked. It was inedible. Server didn’t return to table to offer properly cooked dish. Cashier didn’t seem to care when we left. We won’t be returning.
