ASK Italian Stevenage Leisure Park

After a revamp, this remains a traditional French brasserie in the heart of theatre land.

I like this place because: - it's possible to get reservation - lively atmosphere - affordable (not cheap, but reasonable) - most dishes are delicious -

Despite booking a table through OpenTable, the restaurant did not have our reservation on file. Luckily, there was a spare table available. The service was very good and efficient, and the food met our expectations. Visualizza piatti

Bizarr, although I had booked a table over an open table, the restaurant did not have our booking....? Luckily there was a replacement table! Apart from that, service very good and efficient and food exactly what you would expect.

The restaurant had issues with the air conditioning, resulting in cold air blasting at the diners. Some even had to put their coats back on. This may have contributed to the slow service, as our starters took 45 minutes to arrive.

The air conditioning in the restaurant was faulty so that really cold air radiated to the diners. Some of us have even set up our coats. Whether this was the cause of the slow service, I don't know, but our starters took 45 minutes to arrive. Visualizza piatti

The food at this restaurant was excellent and the service was friendly, though not overly accommodating. Despite having booked a table five days in advance, we were seated in a hastily arranged section in the middle of the empty restaurant. We had requested to sit in a cushioned area to keep our kids contained, but were informed that it was reserved, even though no one sat there during our meal. This was disappointing.

Really nice food and friendly, but not excessively courteous service. The restaurant was quite empty when we arrived, and although we had booked a table 5 days before, we were placed on a laboriously assembled section in the middle of the restaurant. We asked if we could sit against one of the padded sections (which was easy to keep the children clamped), but it was said it was booked.... no one sat there during the meal that was frustrating.
