Mon Plaisir is an adorable, unpretentious, perfectly-located, home-style restaurant, serving the traditional French classics like beef tartare, French onion soup, escargots, and coq au vin, moules marnieres, etc. It’s a much better value than many of the other restaurants in close proximity. The perfect stop, especially if you sneak in around 8pm after the pre-theater crowds have dispersed. We’ve been twice in three weeks since our first visit and will be making a return trip soon!

Great all round first time experience at L'Oscar. Lovely setting and quality feel to the hotel public areas. Chicken Caesar salad was the best I've ever had, and I've had quite a few! Difficult to find any faults - The only negative was the price of after dinner coffees. (Unnecessarily expensive).
