Everything was great. The comte frites and the bread were amazing at the start - the butter was to die for. The beef starter was superb and tender and the tomato starter was equally as good. We then shared the monkfish and the gnocchi which were both 10/10. The sauce on both was outrageous. Would like to come back Not overly priced
