    We had a lovely dinner. Highly recommend the Moules, steak frites, and the haricot vert with crispy shallots. Nice buzzy atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious bistro fare.

    Nice food, good service but severely ripped off at the bar after dinner. Two glasses of chablis £44.27 when menu states £14 per glass (though they don't state how many mils the glass was - seems they are hiding that information - cannot imagine why). So the "one for the road" cost us more than the bottle of wine we had with dinner. They also have the audacity to charge £5.27 for service charge when we were sitting at the bar. A complete disgrace and would never ever go back again or recommend this place - thieves.

    We booked a table on OpenTable. We were welcomed warmly, led to our seats, and the restaurant staff paid us just the right amount of attention. The food was excellent. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Overall, a definite must visit.

    Very nice setting like in NY Food - tried 2 dishes. Rating 1/5 The vol-au-vent arrived cold, but besides that detail, it had very poor quality ingredients and soaked in the cold sauce. Rated below minimum standard (1/5) The roasted chicken was slightly below average, witj the frites average. Rated 2/5 Bread & Butter was by far the best, although just a good white baguette. Service very poor. 1/5 Had to call the waiter all the times to refill glasses with the wine bottle. After wine arriving well due the food arriving, the last late refill after meal finished was accompanied by a “diligent” question whether we wanted another bottle… Excessive chatting in-counter with poor attention to clients at the bar Warm and professional receptionist.
