Pandinis is definitely the one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten in !!, Delicious food, great quality and very good customer service. The lasagne and garlic mussels are one of my favorites, not to mention the gorgeous chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding. Would definitely recommend it to any of my friends.

Everything was great. No complaints. I would definitely visit this restaurant again. Service was slower than I expected but the restaurant was very busy at the time.

Standards are slipping. Have used a few times but the standard of dish is slowly going downhill. I've ordered a dish a couple of time and it is obviously being prepared with cheaper ingredients. They may be saving money this way, but it's at the detriment of what they are serving. Some of the staff need to go back to 'Pleasant School' as their customer relations are lacking, especially the hostess. Her job seems to be to moan at those around her, in front of customers so everyone gets to listen.

If you're going to drop the standard, then drop the price and at least make the overall experience more enjoyable by having more pleasant staff (some are extremely pleasant but are let down by others)

Hi scobe69,

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your recent visit, we take all comments on board in order to bring the best service possible to our guests.

It would be great to know what dish it is that you have felt unhappy with, in order to investigate further ourselves. However, we can assure you that the only time we change the supplier for ingredients is to improve the quality and buy better.

We also have noted your comments about our hostess, however, we must stress that on a busy night it is her job to make sure all staff are doing the best they can to serve customers and her attention may have been on this.

We would love to see you again soon, perhaps we will be able to find a dish better suited to your taste.

Kind regards,
Pandini's

We are a family of 4
We visited last Friday at 6 . Booked at 4 ish that same day
It wasn’t busy when we arrived
The interior is pleasant and your saved from people entering by the low walls
We had a nice table where we could see the coming and goings.
We ordered and food arrived fairly quickly.
That’s when the niceties ended
Two had pizza which they said was ok
We other two had pasta in one form or the other . It was dry and I as an untrained chef would muster up something far tastier than what we got dished up . It left a bad taste in my mouth . I felt it was totally expensive for what it was even though we got 20 % off the final bill. But at that it was still 80 % too dear.
Maybe if management looked at the food preparation and cooking they wouldn’t need this policy of giving 20% off. Would I recommend it . In a word . NO!!!!

Hi johnmT1542KS,


We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your recent visit to Pandini's. As you can see from our other reviews, the service and dishes are well loved by our customers so this is not a reflection on our usual high standards.

We have spoken to management on the night in question, and it doesn't seem that this issue was raised on the night. Whenever a customer is unhappy with their meal we encourage them to let us know so that we can arrange an alternative dish and remove it from the bill.

We strive to do our best to accommodate all customers, but if we are not made aware of an unsatisfactory dish we cannot do anything to help. We also feel that our early bird discounts are fantastic value for the quality of ingredients and service we offer, which many of our customers tell us too.


We would love the opportunity to see you again, where we are confident you will enjoy the true Pandini's experience.

Kind regards,
Pandini's
