Food was tasty but every dish was luke warm when it arrived. The service was slow with drinks when the restaurant wasn't busy so perhaps this was why the food was on the cold side. First drink poured was also very short which we didn't realise until the second was received. Overall, would try it again!

Dear Claire, We're so sorry that your recent experience at Bobbi Pearl didn't meet all your expectations, hopefully when you come back we can make up for it with an awesome time! Bobbi Pearl Team
