Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "Great atmosphere and decor. Local village like locale for french cuisine."
• "Atmosphere of restaurant is beautiful, cozy, charming place."
• "Nice atmosphere for dinner date night, with good service."
• "Lovely little chic bistro in Brook Green...staff are wonderfully polite and what with the accents, the delightful decor and the French music playing it’s easy to forget you aren’t in Paris."
• "Lovely experience :) Good food, good waiting staff, good ambience, good ambient music."

Cons:

• "Service was poor but could be an off day?"
• "I found the restaurant a bit dark and cold - it might be better to sit on the terrace."
• "Would have felt very cosy if the AC wasn't so strong."
• "We had to wait a long time for our mains (perhaps they were slightly short staffed)."

Service

Pros:

• "Friendly and attentive service."
• "Great service, food was really good."
• "Our server was really friendly and felt like she enjoyed her job, which really made us feel welcome."
• "An incredible lunch! Compliments to the chef & even more so to our server Joao who made the meal perfect."
• "What a lovey and friendly staff that served us."
• "Staff were really friendly and unlike some other places, they didn’t try to kick us out before they were about to close."
• "Super friendly and efficient staff. Really good and attentive service."
• "Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit!"

Cons:

• "Service was poor... Had to wait a while and our orders kept getting mixed up."
• "The friendliness of the staff makes a big difference. I was grateful to the Asian staff for being so kind."
• "Sadly the service let the experience down. We were in the restaurant for over an hour and a half before our mains eventually arrived."
• "When diners (in an otherwise empty restaurant) need to walk up to the waiting staff to get their attention, and when food takes almost an hour to arrive, I worry it won't be open for long."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Authentic and delicious French dishes."
• "The food was amazing, and I would highly recommend their signature dessert (the lemon cream)."
• "I love the sea bass fish dish here."
• "The scallops were excellent as well as the Ratatouille."
• "All the desserts are worth trying, particularly the chocolate pot which is great even for someone who may not love chocolate (surprisingly)."
• "Everything was exactly as we expected - it's so rare to get attentive service with a smile these days, especially at reasonable prices. The food was on point."
• "The food here was absolutely lovely and the 3 course menu was really good value."
• "The steak entrecôte was cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce, salad and frites."

Cons:

• "Never order the fish soup as a starter. I took two bites and told the staff member to take it back because the taste was terrible."
• "The pasta were lacking flavour and the other dishes were nothing exceptional."
• "The chicken was ok and when we ordered the steak they didn’t ask how we wanted it and it didn’t justify the price."
• "The food wasn’t as good as the first time we tried this restaurant. Some of the food is nice but overall, vastly overpriced for what it was."
• "Terrible olives, bread and butter for a French restaurant (these are the basic guys)! Everything else was ok but as a French, I WOULDN’T recommend spending your money with them."
