    The French table is exceptional. We have been coming for years, this time it was lunch to celebrate my daughters and birthday, and as always the service was wonderful and the food delicious. I have never had anything but an incredible experience at the French Table.

    The Tasting Menu was devine with a number of dishes from the A La Carte appearing there. All dishes looked amazing and the portion sizes were perfect. The flavours, food combinations and textures were eye-opening. The wines were excellent. A very refined French restaurant.

    Fabulous food as always especially the halibut, wagyu beef and superb choux pastry dessert with rhubarb. The cod roe starter was lovely but rather a small portion of roe. Prices have gone up up and the 12.5% service charge seems a little excessive. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

    this is the best and only restaurant in a 10 mile radius the signature dish is the pork belly the lemon tart will even surprise a long term lemon tart aficionado remarkable is the Nebbiolo by the glass (the little brother of Barolo) at an affordable price level. Service was also pleasant - no complaint here (as opposed to other experiences in other places).
