Went to celebrate partner’s birthday. Venue buzzy, table decorated to reflect - nice a low key, no singing! Staff friendly and attentive but not in your face, it was very busy but they appeared genuinely happy to be working there. Food pretty amazing for a chain and reflects French heritage, we shared a charcuterie board, had Breton fish stew and poulet Breton it was top notch. Neither of us drink so had the Oddbirds bubbles - lovely. Only quibble was them running out of creme caramel so early on a Saturday evening; they lost our dessert order although alternatives were suggested . Keep it up would definitely recommend and return, fab value and great experience.
