REVIEWS OF Zizzi - Kenilworth
Paul W (5 September 2009)
I have been there twice now without booking a table and have always been greeted at the door, no problem, and both times have had some very nice food and wine. I am going there tonight so it's all good. I eat out enough to know that Zizzi is a decent place to go to.
PB (21 January 2009)
I didn't know that Zizzi and Ask were the same company. I wouldn't have gone if I had known, as previous visits to ASK have been dreadful. That aside, the food was lovely at Zizzi, Kenilworth, the service was really, really slow. The welcome at the door was non-existent, and even though a table was booked we didn't feel as though we were expected. The ambiance was lovely, so it is probably worth giving it a go. Why oh why are all these places so bad at service?
