We chose Pieno's because we wanted to try the chefs selection menu for $45 per person but unfortunately the overall service was quite poor. They gave us a bottle of red wine instead of the bottle of white wine we ordered, they did not bring enough wine glasses for the table (then brought a mix of red and white wine glasses). The starters were brought out but there were no sharing plates and cutlery. The courses did not come in the correct order- we only received the oysters after clarifying with one of the waiters. Each time we contacted a waiter, we had to get their attention or a different server's attention twice. We asked one server a question and saw her leave without obtaining a response from the kitchen. The service was very disorganised and uncoordinated. They brought a small portion of dessert for our party and they weren't sure if we were meant to receive a 2nd one (which was provided later after we sought clarification). The food was alright considerring how much we were spending. One of the staff members understood this was not an ideal experience and decided to guve us the bottle of wine for free- which we appreciated. Overall, we were not impressed and wouldn't dine here again.

The food was incredible - so tasty and not overpriced. Our waitress was brilliant but having to wait over an hour for two cocktails was not. It was a busy night though so hoping it was just an anomaly and not the norm. We will definitely be back.
