The onion soup and cheese souffle appetizers were fabulous. The steak frites were a very disappointing, ultra- thin, tasteless piece of meat and cold fries. The fish stew was mostly mussels with one small potato and a few very small shrimp. Also, or meals took a very long time to come out.

When we arrived, they didn’t seem to have our booking but luckily they had a table available and seated us with no fuss. Staff were warm, welcoming and friendly. Good range of options and particularly good gluten free offerings.Fantastic chain restaurant that I would highly recommended

Things weren’t working as well as they should. Service was very slow and we nearly had to leave without dessert (having paid the bill before it arrived). A 5.45pm booking to make a 7.30pm show with only two courses should have been an absolute no brainer. I don’t know what has happened.
