The food was generally OK however my 'toast' with my pate was just literally a bit of bread that had been shown the chargrill for about a minute and no part was crisp. The rest of the food was great the service however was slooooow, drinks took ages to arrive, the rest of the food arrived in a reasonable time but clearing took a while and took us about 15 mins to pay the bill after it had arrived.

The two hostesses at the front were less than friendly and accommodating. I had made a dinner reservation in open table over 2 months ago and even after showing one the reservation they contributed to look for the name or reservation. One rolled her eyes when my husband said, you’ve seen the reservation, can’t you just eat us since the c restaurant is half full and they ignored us.
