    Great food, great service. Shame about children running around and baby at next table but it is school holidays and you can’t help inconsiderate people in a lovely high end restaurant, that is not their fault. Just other inconsiderate diners.

    The beef tartare and the scallop was delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked. The salad greens and the frites paired very well with the steaks. The service was excellent.

    The food was good, our server was great but the atmosphere was horrific. This venue is so incredibly loud, we came for a birthday lunch for my partners 88 year old father and we couldn’t communicate without yelling at each other across the table. Everyone in the restaurant was yelling to yell over the yell and it was horrible. Based on this alone I would not return.
