Pros:

• "Classic interior design and I am in love with it."
• "A you walk in you are struck by the beautiful wood lined and art adorned walls."
• "A gorgeous restaurant. We sat outside on a beautiful summer day and it felt like we were in Paris."
• "This lovely french restaurant absolutely knocked us out of the park with the crazy quality and service we received."
• "The interior decoration and the ambient atmosphere is just utterly relaxing and beautiful."

Cons:

• "When I entered the restaurant at midday, I immediately noticed how quiet it was. Maybe a little....too quiet."
• "The restaurant is beautiful inside and they are dog friendly - always a bonus."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The starter beef tartare was good; The main duck confit was nicely cooked."
• "We got the salmon which was excellent and the chicken tarragon salad which was a little underwhelming but everyone on the table enjoyed it."
• "Opting for the Escargot which was simply sublime and the steak frites. The steak was cooked beautifully medium rare and complemented the sauce well."
• "The food and ambiance are perfect. I had the onion soup, steak tartare, and duck confit. All were cooked properly and the complex flavors were superb."
• "The wild mushroom soup was heartwarming and the chicken was grilled to perfection."

Cons:

• "The main duck confit was nicely cooked but flavour was mediocre; another main we ordered was grilled chicken, which was very dry and flavourless."
• "Really quite overpriced for the food quality."
• "The steak came with a fresh side of salad which was definitely fresh but also not delectable."
• "Service was poor but food was good. We ordered burgers (very good), strawberry sorbet (flavorless) and coffee (good)."
• "Some of the worst food we’ve ever had in a restaurant. Both our mains were clearly frozen and had no flavour whatsoever."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "When I entered the restaurant at midday, the maitre d' was welcoming with a smile."
• "The highlight was the young woman who took our orders and took excellent care of us, recommending delicious cocktails."
• "All the staff were polite and extremely helpful and nothing was too much effort for them."
• "The service was spectacular, which only boosts my respects for this restaurant."
• "Staff is very friendly and attentive despite the crowds."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately what really let this place down was the service. Multiple servers asking us if we wanted to order when we already had."
• "The glasses of wine taking about 20 minutes to be given to us. When the wine did arrive one glass had a chip in it."
• "The food took ages to arrive. The good news is that they did not rush us off the table after 90 mins."
• "We had to ask for the menus after we sat as they seem to have ignored us after we were seated."
• "Service was a bit weird here - lots of people who never smile at you and would largely ignore you unless you flagged them down despite being fairly empty."
