    Not the same experience we had before, our table was left unattended for a long time, I order a second glass of red to finish the entrees but arrived after I finish them. Overall the experience was alright, but not as great as the last time.

    The starters & entrees were excellent. We'd go back just for them. My partner had the whole trout which she loved. I had the beef tenderloin which didn't impress me. The rosemary potatoes were excellent, so good. However, the butterleaf salad was disappointing, nothing special. We were reminded after we'd eaten that we'd pre-ordered the lobster. This needed to be done at the beginning. Maybe I was too full to appreciate it, although my partner really liked it. They brought out a small cake for my partner's birthday which we really appreciated. We were told that the menu would be explained to us, but all we had was someone asking if we were ready to order! The waiters however were very attentive. So some good and some average.

    I have to say that Civico 47 was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Everything was exceptional. Every member of staff was welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable and caring. The food was out of this world, and the wine was exquisite thanks to the recommendations of the sommelier. It was a fun, wonderful evening. Thank you all. We will be back.

    The lobster pasta was excellent with really fresh lobster (hence the pre-order requirement I suppose), and the other dishes were very good. The service was generally very good and the wine advice was spot on, but despite the sound absorption panels in the ceiling, it was very noisy, but not in a buzzy way.
