    We have dined here on a number of occasions. Dined with 4 friends last night. We all had the set menu. Pork pate, coq au vin and Bouchon special dessert ( coconut sorbet with trimmings) All very good. So was the Viognier/grenache wine. Ambience always excellent. Place to go on special occasion or with friends. Met a lot of regulars there. Thoroughly recommended.
