   Exceptional place. Such a shame that it is closing for good tonight.

   We love Kino and have previously booked before going to the theatre, which we did again this year. We’re sat by 5.15pm, but after 1 hour and 15 minutes we still hadn’t received our main course and the waitress went to ask the chefs (who had clearly misplaced our order). By the time it arrived we had to ask for the bill at the same time as quickly eating our main in order to get to the show on time. When asked if there was anything the waitress could do to make up for this long wait she said the only thing she could do was remove the service charge from the bill. Such a shame as it was so good last year but would think twice before booking for the theatre again.

   Starters were great but the mains let us down big time!

   Great, prompt (but not intrusive) service. Interesting menu and wine/cocktail selection. The humble pork chop I chose was outstanding. I also appreciate tables aren't closely squashed together, making the ambience relaxed and noise-levels not excessive, even on a Saturday night (when we dined)

   Excellent service and food. Next door to the Grand Theater. Good vegetarian options.

   Really great menu and the friend I was with observed that the menu and food was far better than her trip to a recently refurbished hotel & restaurant she’d visited, following a fire. Each course was delicious and the service was polite & courteous. Even better, we were able to chat without yelling at each other! Would definitely recommend.

   Three of us ate here on a cold Thursday night. Between us we shared seven different dishes. We enjoyed them all although the gnocchi could have been a bit lighter and the fish was a little overcooked. The wines we chose were lovely and good value, as was the overall menu. I will definitely go again.

    Vegan soup came with a cheddar cheese tuile which has to be returned, my fellow diners had full prawns which had to be de-shelled (not stated on the menu) then had to ask for some lemon water to qash their handa in, serviettes not replaces unless asked, a waitress spilled a full drink of Aperol Spritz over the table which went over my mum, tried to clean it up with serviettes until I suggested getting a mop for the floor, my vegan gnocchi was extremely dry and dense, the steamed broccoli was nice but only a few stalks for £6 seemed steep. The others enjoyed their steak and fish, but presentation was very basic and the staff seemed very undertrained. Having worked for many years in the hospitality sector I could see a lot of ways things could be improved in this restaurant. We weren't offered any recompense for the spillage, which is something the manager would need to be trained in as customer service is very lacking. The waitress very apologetic and I know how these things happen, but it just added to quite a poor experience overall and for which we won't return. Shame really as I was excited about the vegan options. I do also believe we were given the pre-theatre menu containing 4 dishes on each course rather than the a la carte menu which we'd seen online which had 5 dishes per course.
