Lovely food - great staff but slightly wobbly table. I would definitely go back again. Atmosphere good - mostly pre show for Millennium Centre so very busy.

Staff here went above and beyond normal restaurant service. We asked if a favourite dessert was available (crepe grand mariner) as we could see that another style of pancake was on the menu. The chef was consulted and even though this dessert was designed for later in the week the answer came back yes! Made our night. Whole meal was delightful.

This is a lovely restaurant that really is just like a French brasserie. The staff are so helpful, cheerful and polite without being intrusive. The food is excellent and there is always a specials menu with a good choice. We've eaten there 3 times now as they have a children's menu, high chairs and reasonable selection for vegetarians. Highly recommended.

We were greeted at the door as soon as we entered the premises by friendly polite staff and shown to our table without delay. The premises were clean an tidy. We were served without delay. The staff were very helpful as my wife has allergies to certain spices. The food was enjoyable. A very enjoyable experience.

Staff really helpful and food as good as ever. An excellent place to eat before going to the theatre. Only problem (which has happened before) is that we had to ask to move tables because of the seating arrangements for tables for 2 often being near the door, giving a cold blast over us each time the door opened.

As ever, excellent food and exceptional service. The warm Roquefort salad starter is my new favourite dish, and my wife says that the French Onion soup is the best she's tasted.

The staff was slow and were hanging around the coffee area rather than serving people. One girl took a long time making coffee and the other waiter rather than helpin just mocked her in front of customers. Wouldn’t recommend.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the service was a little slow as it was quite busy. Our kids were very tired and restless by the time the food came. The pork belly was not crispy on top so that was disappointing but the meat still tasted good. Overall food was good and nice atmosphere. Just needs more staff.

Good Location. Friendly Staff. Nice Flavours. Good Atmosphere. Soup was nice but chicken was overdone, so this is not a great restaurant but certainly ok and would return if visiting the WMC. It is a slightly better version of Le Bistrot Pierre chain, but a lot more expensive.

Chips were very over cooked couldn't even stick my fork in them. Felt like we were rushed from the minute we got there. Both starter and main came out extremely quickly which is quite worrying as to how the food is prepared.

Can you rate a restaurant as a little too efficient ? It was a pre-theatre meal. Given 10 minutes to Choose if meals and it was with us on the table in about 10 minutes. Hard for restaurants to balance it out I guess. Sometimes customers want to enjoy the surroundings and have a reasonable break in between meals
