    Restaurant was tastefully decorated and it was quiet when we visited. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Food was lovely, well presented, hot and tasty.

    We arrived early so it was quiet. Service is always good and staff lovely. Waited a while for the food but it was obviously fresh and very good. I have always enjoyed this restaurant.

    All right for what we paid thanks to a voucher but I would have hated to have paid the full price! The stake was ok but very thin and the service was slow considering the place was almost empty.

    My only fault with the meal was that the frites had way too much salt on them. All other parts of the meals were beautifully cooked and presented artfully. The crab and avocado was outstanding.

    Solid and dependable food. Twice baked soufflé looked uninspiring, but tasted good. Salmon rillettes had too much butter, but with that removed was excellent. Glad it wasn't busy, service was friendly but slow.
