we held our family holiday get together at Carniva...

we held our family holiday get together at Carnivale last year. I was excited as the reviews were good..we wanted a place with a good atmosphere and music which was lively for the holiday, we were kept waiting about 30 minutes ( although I had booked months ahead) this was fine as we stood at the bar, we were then taken to a back room upstairs where there were two big round tables, we were away from the festivities in the rest of the restaurant. It felt like we were an after thought up there, service was VERY slow, we poured our own wine..it kinda ended up being a long drawn out evening, we were also celebrating a birthday and they did not bring out the cake. Overall very disappointing for 1500 dinner. Will not go back.
