   Only complaint is the wine pour is very frugal! I know they have to apply appropriate cost when pouring via the glass, but I think they could be a little more generous

   Hi Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we really appreciate it. Our standard wine pour is 150ml, which is consistent with what you’ll find at most venues. We understand that the size or shape of the glass can sometimes make the pour appear smaller than it actually is, but please rest assured that you are receiving the correct serve. Each of our glasses are marked to ensure accuracy — no frugality here, just a focus on consistency and quality! Thanks again for your comments, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind regards, The Cognoscenti Team

   We've dined many times at Cognoscenti, and have never been disappointed. Our group of 8 had dietary requirements, so they went out of their way to tweak the chef's set menu for us. It was all very delicious - we will always recommend and return.

   The venue and food were fantastic for our occasion, and wait staff very friendly. Serving size was good, not too big and not too small.
