   Ordered oysters as a pre-starter, but saw them sat on the pass for at least 10 minutes, only to then be served with our starters which we sent back, pointing out that the oysters hadn't been served. My partner ordered "lobster linguine" as defined on the menu, but in fact you don't get any lobster meat ... just a big plate of pasta in a lobster bisque. I told the manager that this was misleading and the wording on the menu should be changed, she agreed to not charge for the meal and also removed the service charge. We were also sat next to a very loud large party of people celebrating a birthday, which made it difficult to have a conversation. If I were running a restaurant, I would put a large party in the corner rather than in the middle of the restaurant, so as to cause less inconvenience to other diners.

   I would 100% recommend Osteria Del Mare! The 3 oyster and champagne deal is great and we shared the Sea Bass which was exceptional. Great for a date night!

   Beautiful restaurant and friendly staff but there’s a reason it was basically empty when we arrived … the food sucks. The calamari was tough as leather (was clearly frozen) that we had to send back, lobster linguine that genuinely had no taste (£39 for the pleasure) and al denté pasta. If you’re looking for basics - pizza and chips - were very good, but it’s not worth the money for the fish dishes - sadly haven’t worked out what they’re doing here. Avoid avoid avoid.

   I went there to celebrate my birthday, and it was an amazing experience. The food, ambiance, and service were all exceptional. The highlights for me were the mushroom pasta, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the tiramisu, which was simply divine. I’ll definitely be coming back!
