The Phantom Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Anyone been yet? Google reviews all seem to be quite good already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombay Bad Boy Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Walk past it on my way home, it always seems rammed. That's usually a good sign. But then so is 1886 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passing Time Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Went for something to eat with Mrs PT. Not impressed with the food but they should do well out of the luvvies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDave Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Decidedly average when we went. Others seem to like it though, which I expect is more down to the location and fit out than the food. Villa Parilla is much better and just round the corner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people these days are more concerned with how it looks than what it does. The cocktails are overly sweet and honestly a little dangerous, considering the dry ice aspect and lack of experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They liked the place, found the cocktails a bit expensive but mercifully are still alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Something weird about drinking under the villa, the smell of rotten seaweed/piss made me question if Ted Ball was still around. I think the concept may have been better with app ordering etc in a bigger venue. Seems very strange to be scanning QR codes and ordering with apps when it’s not beneficial to the punter and adds more of a wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely part of the restaurant experience is to have human interaction with the staff ( I know you can do that as well) It seems to me like ordering your food from a vending machine, however good it is. But I guess I’m just a grumpy old git. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
