Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Highbury

Great atmosphere, setting and food. Staff are welcoming and didn’t rushed to order or leave. Great for a night out or special occasion.

Really great food - everything we ate was excellent. However, the service was not as good as I had hoped - we had booked for a special occasion, but felt disappointed this was not acknowledged across the evening. We were originally sat at a table right by the door which felt like an odd choice given they knew we were there for a birthday, however we were moved to a nicer area which was appreciated. However, after we moved, we had to flag down waiters to order more drinks and ask for desserts. It felt a bit like they wanted us to leave by the end. Besides the service, the ambience was great and the food really was good. I hope the service would be better on a next visit.

Very tasty and well-presented food, but glad we didn’t order as much as we were advised we would need. All served at good intervals and there was no rush on the return of the table.  We all agreed the wine was very expensive so we chose the house white, which was disappointingly thin and served from an unmarked and open bottle. (Needs to be more choice at the under £50 a bottle end!)

The food is amazing! We had steak and the flavour was so good, the chips were superb as well. It is first and foremost a chophouse and therefore specialises in meat - the ones we saw looked superb. The menu is a little confusing but the very good waitress talked us through it and made sense of it. Overall, definitely recommend.

First time at Giacco's - what a treat! First class food and very very tasty. Will definitely be coming back for more. Great atmosphere for such a tiny space. Loved it! Thank you Giacco's ❤️
