Called in early 5.30pm after going to cinema, the restaurant was empty . Oh my word!! In hindsight we should have walked out the minute I noticed how filthy the windows were and on opening the door the small entrance area was also filthy and...it didn't stop there! The dirt is so deeply embedded in/on the white chairs they are very sticky, the table was sticky, the floor was disgusting, menu was sticky and even the tiles near our seating area were filthy. When my food came I had to send it back as it was cold, the woman who served us looked shocked and said "how can that be its just been cooked!" it was cold! My husband went to the toilet, when he returned he said "best not go in there", he said it was disgusting, the toilet door was dirty and the door handle was disgusting, he said inside was no better and it looked as though it hadn't been cleaned for several months!! Before writing this review I looked at some other reviews and I noticed in a previous review written 4 months ago that a birthday banner was up by a seating area, if the writer of that review reads this the banner is still up! I have, for the safety of others (I say others as we will definitely not repeat our visit), reported this restaurant to North East Lincolnshire Council Food Health Team, I have fears of how filthy the kitchen will be and I hope they pay a visit and carry out an inspection. Just want to add The woman who served us was on the phone when we arrived and she spent the entire time chatting and laughing on the phone, only putting it down to serve us and take my food back to the kitchen, she didn't hang up even when we paid! The woman also told us they would only accept cash, she blamed covid and the cost of £40 per month for the card machine. While my husband settled the bill, I noticed how dirty, grubby and grimy the bar area was, guess I should not have been surprised! I would have thought that being closed re covid would have been a perfect opportunity to do some very deep and thorough cleaning but alas it appears this was not the case!!!! We did laugh to ourselves when we were told the chef was Italian!!!More
