    Lovely restaurant,very accommodating staff. We had a flat tire on the way to the restaurant and moved our booking to half an hour later without quibble. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and we were well looked after by the staff. As it was a 50th birthday, they also surprised us with cocktails at the end of our meal, which was a lovely touch!

    This was probably the greatest culinary experience of my life. Managed to get a booking for the Valentine’s Day meal. Not just were the hosts incredibly hospitable but incredibly attentive. The highlights of the menu were almost the entire thing. Both desserts were sublime, the TFC, caviar gougère and roast chicken were amazing. I’ve never seen a scallop as big in my life and for the duck course the main star of that dish in my opinion was the morels. We were put on the chefs table which was like looking into a finely tuned, well oiled machine. There is an almost 100 percent chance I’ll be back in the future.

    We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch here. It’s nice to find somewhere that offers a late Sunday lunch without the usual rush to order before 3pm. The presentation and quality of our meal was top notch… as was the friendly service. I totally recommend this stunning brasserie… Fitz’s is definitely worth a visit for a special or non special occasion.
