    Must be one top Restaurants in the world. Have been to Michelin stars all over Europe and USA and this stood out above just about all. The service is elegant and efficient, the room is cozy and beautiful, wine list excellent. Food is gorgeous but tastes excellent as well, then buerre blanc on the potato dish, is the best sauce I’ve ever had, magical.

    Great food, really charming service. Very quiet on an early Spring sunny Saturday lunchtime which was a shame as a bit more ambience would have rounded off an otherwise lovely meal. I can’t help feeling the lovely room and decor is even better for an evening meal. Thank you for a lovely meal.

    Great food, friendly and professional service, and a lovely, relaxed feel. We sat outside in the spring sunshine, soaking up the peace and quiet of the Common. Both diners had the burgers which were substantial and delicious, especially with the chunky hand-carved chips. For pudding, we had the creme brule and the apple and rhubarb crumble with vanilla custard - both were presented beautifully and in exactly the right proportions - not too big nor too small. We were both driving, so unable to take advantage of the tempting wines.
