Licciardo's Gallery Bar and Grill

Venue is small and being a group of 10 it felt cramped. Initial service was good ...... promptly took drink orders but we had to approach the Bar staff as two drinks had been forgotten. Meals had good taste but were expensive for what you received.

Rob is a top notch chef and his meat and pasta dishes are a speciality. Nice atmosphere and fine wines

I am not a difficult customer and it's not often I am unable to eat my meal, in fact the last time was in 2003. Perhaps the Japanese inspired pasta was just not to my taste but nonetheless, when everyone else had finished, the waitress just smiled and cleared my plate no questions asked then put it on the bill. Surely protocol would dictate a question similar to 'Was everything ok with your meal?'. Well not here - you don't like it then tough luck. My other 3 friends thought their meals were less than average albeit a bit strange like a dish of Cajun, Moroccan style calamari. To be fair the produce is very fresh and presented beautifully and a lot of thought has gone into the menu but ... the service, although friendly, was absolutely and utterly hopeless. We sat for a very long time waiting to order coffee with the waitresses chatting at the bar with only another 8 patrons eating lunch. In fact we had to yell out "Excuse me?" a few times and wave our arms around to get them to stop chatting. The chef made an appearance sauntering through with his minions, he never asked why someone barely touched one of his meals but perhaps no-one even told him. If you're facing the back of the restaurant you can catch the staff smoking cigarettes in the garden whilst you eat, I'd recommend a table facing the other way.

Quiet intimate dinner for two; very attentive staff, a very comprehensive menu and wine list. We both had the Duck....terrific !

Just had the most beautiful lunch today. The eye fillet steak was the best my husband and brother have ever had. Sister-in-law and I had the lamb cutlets which were to die for. Sweets were also delish. Would recommend everyone to dine there. Staff great.
