Veeno Leicester

Joseph was a great host. The family vibe from across the various staff members were met was evident and you could tell that they cared about the reputation of their restaurant. We went on a Virgin experience day to try 6 wines with a large platter for two. Given space to enjoy the food and wine without constant, annoying, nagging like some places do. The selection of wines were nice, the desert wine was actually outstanding which I was surprised about not being a huge fan normally. The food was delightful and the cheeses were cracking Wallace and Gromit pun intended. The only issue we initially experienced was on arrival we were told there was no space upstairs (we arrived an hour early) and would have to sit down in the slightly sterile environment of the shop floor which compared to the atmosphere upstairs would 've resulted in a very different experience. When we were moved upstairs there were loads of empty tables, and we spotted two tables throughout our stay (just over 2 hours) that remained unused, so given we were due an hour later there never should 've been an issue. Only mentioning this as, if you are fobbed off with this excuse after reading this, stand your ground and ask to see upstairs. The atmosphere they have created up there is wonderful, and as I said above, without sitting up there the experience would 've undoubtedly been more subdued. Thanks again to Joseph, his new aid who was learning on the job that day, and the young lady who occasionally checked in on us. Thoroughly recommend a lazy afternoon spent here enjoying their food and wine.
