avoid at all costs
i visited the Albany road Zio Pin on Saturday evening & had the worst restaurant experience i've encountered in my life.

To start, they'd booked us for the wrong day (Friday not Saturday) so got in a huff & tried blaming us. The fact that two of our party were out of the country on Friday meant we were 100% not mistaken.

We were offered a free round of drinks as recompense, but the bar staff were so inept they weren't able to serve us for 15 minutes and when the bill came they reneged on the free drinks anyway.

Every course that was served saw 5 dishes (of 6) being brought & one person having to wait 10 minutes for theirs.

Then there was the food....had I wanted to eat overcooked Tesco value pasta coated with a pint of oil I could have stayed at home & saved myself the quite frankly shocking amount of £20.

All in all a terrible experience which marred a once-yearly gathering of friends and family. I would stongly recommend this restaurant is avoided.    [17 Dec 2007 05:08:45]
