    The meal was exceptional and the restaurant is beautiful. Only thing that let the experience down was the service. After waiting 25 minutes flagged down a member of staff to take our order. Plates not cleared away for over 20 minutes etc. which did dampen the experience for us a bit

    Although the food was superb, I ordered my favourite dessert a Baba au Rhum. Unfortunately it was dry and lacking the taste of rum! I asked for a small glass of rum and was really surprised to find that I was charged for the rum. Wouldn’t happen in France…

    Great restaurant. Soufflé and duck were superb. A very good bottle of French red wine for not much money. Service was friendly and efficient and just a lovely welcoming place to eat.
