"Service was outstanding, the waitress we had Andrea was so polite and attentive to our needs made our first dining experience amazing."
"Must start by saying that we were served by a wonderfully attentive and charming blond lady with a ponytail."
"I can’t fault the food or the service. The staff were so helpful letting me set up before hand and taking care of the cake."
Cons:
"The staff were not really friendly or attentive."
"Was ok, felt like I was being rushed and one course came within 5 minutes of the other."
"Very poor service.The waiter raised his voice and start arguing with me."
"Shocking! Staff should have challenged the thieves when they came in."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was delicious and well presented and the waiter provided excellent service by being really attentive."
"Had a beautiful meal at this wonderful new addition to Cockfosters. The decor is perfect, the waiting staff attentive and the service spot on."
"Very enjoyable meal, the food was very well cooked and well presented, ingredients were good quality."
"The food is excellent, the service is amazing and the ambiance is out of this world."
Cons:
"I had lamb shank which didn’t taste fresh."
"If a restaurant can't even toast bread, then you know it's bad."
"The beef in the beef bourguignon was a bit dry but it did have good flavour."
"Was disappointed with La Petite Auberge as I've been there before and had a better reception. I have a number of food intolerances which they catered for before. This time I had to make do with items on the menu without the products in that I can't eat."
Atmosphere and Decor
Pros:
"Has outside and inside seating very clean and nice layout."
"It's a consistently great restaurant with great food. Great place and gorgeous decor at the back too."
"The decoration of this restaurant is really beautiful and the staff are very professional."
"The interior is cosy, romantic, with lovely decor and design."
Cons:
"That said, the food was still amazing. I wouldn't recommend the snails though, they were a bit flavourless."
"Bright interior, particularly liked the area at the back, a sort of conservatory, but unfortunately the waiter was not so cheerful!"
"Lamb smothered in thick gravy, overcooked vegetables and overall was rather disappointing."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Exceptional value - my friend and I had a two-course set lunch, (mine was the goat's cheese salad followed by sea bass) for £16.50 each."
"Great Value and would certainly recommend."
"However 3 courses set menu 4 lunch tasty and good choices and amazing value 4 money...worth a visit."
"Absolute value for your money. Spoilt for choice regarding the food."
Cons:
"No value for money. Their branch in Upper street offers much better quantities."
"2 starters 2 mains 1 martini £70 it's on the high end of prices."
"Very disappointing indeed. Went for a friend's Birthday brunch. Ordered sourdough toast with avocado and poached egg because that sounds like a safe option."
