    What a phenomenal fine dining experience. The service was so patient and memorable, and my goodness, to have a restaurant that has a whole plant based menu that isn’t two items is incredible. Everything on there was sensational. You must try the house made olives they are something else!! So glad to have discovered this gem.

    First time diner and I like the restaurant. It serves very well cooked, authentic french food. As such the menu is aimed at people who like french food and is mostly limited to the classics (steak and frites, duck, boeuf bourgignon, steak tartare, crepe suzette, creme brulee etc) . For entree we shared a tomato salad with white anchovies, olives and basil which I loved but my wife had some minor criticisms. She thought it was presented a bit too rustically, it was light on with the anchovies and she also noticed the basil was nowhere to be seen. We both enjoyed the fish of the day, Schnapper with beurre blanc sauce, which was nicely cooked and everything was piping hot. I had a crepe with icecream and calvados which was delicious.
