As seems to be the case with most Ask restaurants, sometimes you can go along and have a great experience, sometimes it can be close to diabolical. this particular branch of the chain is no different and is very hit and miss.
The food is usually good - the ingredients are mostly fresh (although some salad items can occasionally look a bit dubious) and in busier times the strain on the kitchen is reflected by the standard of the food.
Service varies too depending on how busy it gets. Normally its fine, but on busier Saturday nights, again, the strain shows and service suffers as a result.
Prices are ok - desserts are ridiculously over priced, but the meals generally arent badly priced. A decent choice of wine and drinks are available, but only one kind of beer, which as you might expect, is Italian.
Usually the atmosphere is relaxed, and the candles on the tables after dark are a nice touch, but they can sometimes crack up the music a little too loud.
