Only disappointment was the attitude of one of the waiters who thought just because I didn't include the gratuity in the payment I didn't leave a tip at all. I wanted to leave the gratuity to the waitress and he believed nothing was left and made his feelings known. Not nice to hear the comments when it's optional either way. The meal on the other hand was exceptional.

Great food. Great service. Not a lot more that can be said. The toilets are quite inaccessible so check if that may be a problem for you.

The quality of food was excellent and our complimentary bottle of wine was also very pleasing. We enjoyed sea bass and veal, crème caramel and tarte citron, with fresh mint tea to complete a very enjoyable experience.

We visited for lunch on a Wednesday. The ambience was bustling, with a warm welcome and invitation to sit at a table with a newspaper while our dining table was prepared; yes, we were almost ten minutes early, so no blame intended. Service was unhurried but attentive, and the standard of our food was excellent. We will certainly return. Graham Davies

Both my husband and I enjoyed our meals. He had Cauliflower Soup, which he enjoyed but not as much as the French onion Soup he had last time. I had Savoie ham with remoulade which I thought was very tasty. His mains was a Steak Frites which he really enjoyed. I had what was one of the most superbly cooked pieces of hake I have ever had, accompanied by a very Mediterranean tasting chick pea stew. Only I had dessert, too full for a 'proper' desert I had strawberry Ice cream with lemon sorbet It was accompanied by a sort of 'tuile'.It that was really special. Next time I will order i scoop of ice cream with 2 biscuits/tuile!! All together a very enjoyable meal.

The new website is not as good as previously as there is no box to put in any requests. e.g. I am waiting for a knee replacement operation so stairs are a problem for me and thus I used to request a table on the ground floor. That option is not available on the new web site. The restaurant otherwise is still very good value for money.

Great restaurant with a good feel to it and excellent service. The food was wonderful and was reasonable value for money. we had an upstairs window seat which was just perfect. My only complaint is the 12.5% service charge which is added to the bill. Accepting that it is optional I always feel that things like that should be left to the individual. A lovely evening and we will go again.

Charming staff with good sense of humour. A very good awareness of gluten free requirements, excellent idea to put gluten free 'flags' on GF meals. Shame you can't make Coupe Noire dessert gluten free as it's delicious but good advice from duty manager to try ice cream with white choc sauce instead.

Visited with a client. We wanted a relatively light lunch and quick service as we both had engagements to move onto. Greeting was warm, service attentive & no delay in order taking. We had the 2 course fixed price lunch menu - food was great. My whitebait was freshly cooked; chicken chasseur had good flavours. Excellent.
