Ewelina's review of Cielo Birmingham

Went to this restaurant on sunday night with couple of friends and to be honest was really dissapointed. Food was great though. Service was ok but nothing special, had to ask for water 3 times 3 different people as non of them looked bothered to get it for as (yeah it was a jug of water and it was free thats maybe why nobody was in a rush). Mains took a while but as we had some catch up to do we didnt mind. when we got our food it was really enjoyable so have no complains about that. the main dissapointment came after our desserts when manager came over to ask if we would like anymore drinks when we siad that we just gonna finish our wine he stated that all we need to do know is to pay ( we never asked for it as we just wanted to chill for couple more minutes). Manager was pretty rude explaining that they are closing (at 7.30pm!!!) because Italy is playing in the final and they want to watch football!!! First we thought he was joking but when the bill arived just seconds after he left our table we understood that we are not welcomed here anymore. With takeing payment they were so much faster than with giving us water!! Felt really rushed as glases were clared as soon as it reached the table and at the end it was only me who stayed with a bit of wine. It was the first time we went there and definatelly its the last one as well. Dont want to go to places were my presents is not appreciated especially when there is a great Italian restaurant just oposit Cielo.
