Cosy Del's

I just don't think this is our sort of place. We were sat right at the entrance in front of the open door and the night air was very cool. No one seemed to notice that I was very obviously cold. We got the run down on the menu from one staff member and then a second one came and told us all about it again. We had to ask what alcohol free drinks there are. I know these guys are very proud about their wine list but it's 2023, lots of people are looking for alcohol free options these days. When our drinks came they were not what we'd ordered and we did not enjoy them. We didn't say anything because we thought we'd misunderstood the explanation of the drinks. It wasn't until we heard the non alcoholic options being told to someone else that we realised it wasn't us who'd misunderstood. The venue is set up really weird but I get that it's a small space they are trying to make the most of. However if you're going to have your kitchen smack bang front and centre in the middle of the dining area maybe ask your chefs not to have loud obnoxious conversations the entire time they're working. One of the chefs would not shut up and we could hear every single word he was saying. It stopped us from being able to have our own conversation. Also, if you're going to have a menu that's designed to share it might be good to have tables that are designed to hold many plates. It was so awkward to find room for our main dishes and the plates we were eating from. The food was ok. It all felt like it was trying very hard but not quite getting there. Nothing quite lived up to its promise. Overall, while we appreciate the effort that went into Cosy Del's, we didn't enjoy our experience. We really wanted to like it but it's not for us. We won't be going back. * EDIT: we also didn't get the olives we ordered but on the plus side they didn't try to charge us for them either.
