It was lovely to talk to Phillipe. The entire team are consummate professionals and friendly. My cocktail was perfect with the cocktail nibbles. The food is delicious, especially the cheese souffle to the dessert. It is so nice to dine at a classic restaurant. I enjoyed the entire evening. Thank you.
