First time visiting this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The food was lovely the staff friendly and very reasonable prices. The only thing was as soon as you've had your starter they bring out your main so maybe order the main a little time after but would definitely go back

We dined at San Marino for the first time to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. The only thing that I was disappointed with was my wife and I made the effort to dress 'up' but made to feel somewhat overdressed as other people were there wearing Jean's and trainers or some other casual clothes. It just seemed to me that there should be some form of dress code because after all your out to eat in a beautiful restaurant so therefore pay it the respect it's due. If people want to wear scruffy clothes and trainers they should have been directed to McDonald's. Other than this we really enjoyed our food and the hospitality shown from our server was very welcoming. We will return to San Marino at a later date.

I only noticed just before paying the bill( 2 people) that a 10% service charge had been added to the bill, presented as 'Dine in Fee's', this appears to be a new ' Add On'. We would have left 10% tip in any case, this 'Add On' is most annoying. If there is one way to piss customers off, its this

Meatballs where very tasty but only just lukewarm. Would order again but ask for them to be heated up if it happened again. You were very kind making a fuss of my daughter on her birthday bringing a free piece of cake with candle, thankyou, it was lovely

Overall we enjoyed it , service was excellent , food was good but not outstanding , mussels were very small and the risotto was a little dry but tasty. Don't get why there is a sea bass dish on the menu and the fish of the day option is also sea bass . We will definitely visit again tho as those points didn't put us off.
