Reviews
On the waiter’s recommendation, we chose a bottle of wine that turned out to be an elegant and well‑matched companion to the food.
Our starters, warm smoked salmon risotto with brown shrimp, were excellent. Rich, complex flavours and perfectly cooked rice made this a standout dish, especially paired with the wine.
For mains, we had cod and seabass. Both were cooked to perfection: moist, succulent fish with crisp skin. The cod came with a sauce carrying subtle lemon notes, while the seabass was served with steamed vegetables, fried potatoes, and a well‑balanced sauce with a gentle hint of heat.
Dessert was a chocolate brownie and a citrus‑infused crème brûlée. Both were refreshing, satisfying, and a great finish to the meal.
Service throughout the evening was warm and attentive, and the kitchen clearly shows real skill. We felt genuinely welcomed, and the quality of the food made the visit memorable. We’ll return at the first opportunity.
However, the students (or the younger staff) in white shirts should be properly trained before working with customers. One of them overcharged me by £40 because he thought the bill was correct (overcharging has happened once before too ) and another waitress brought my dish with her finger in my sauce. I let it go at the time, but for a restaurant of this standard, the lack of basic training is honestly quite surprising.
The food was excellent quality, clearly well thought out and beautifully prepared. There’s a wide range of options on the menu — including some very high-priced items if you’re looking to treat yourself — but it’s also great that they offer a more affordable set menu, which makes the place accessible without compromising on quality.
It’s the kind of restaurant that feels special but still comfortable, whether you’re there for a relaxed meal or a more refined dining experience. Overall, a fantastic balance of quality, atmosphere, and choice, and somewhere I’d happily return to.
Will be back, highly recommend
The menu isn’t exactly French but they tried. The cafe De Paris sauce sounds French but is from Switzerland. The food was cooked well and it was tasty. The wine list was extortionate. Some bottles were £100 more than what you can get the same bottle for in France. We know as one of us is French. The Ox cheek isn’t worth it, extortionate, adding a £20 supplement for that. The service was good, very pleasant and accommodating.
The service charge being added to the bill is very cheeky, especially since the French don’t tip at all! Not very French, but very American! They didn’t even mention there was a service charge which is optional. We had mentioned it was a birthday but nothing was mentioned like in most restaurants. Very pricey, nice as a treat but don’t think we would visit again.
Lewis’s wine pairings were spot on, featuring some excellent wines that complemented each dish wonderfully.
Thank you very much for such a lovely evening.
Beautiful duck for the main course (you are in a French restaurant after all!). Very light crisp French champagne did not give me a headache and was very pleasant and not overpowering. The desserts offered a rich taste with a touch of sophistication. A delightful treat for the taste buds!
The staff were very attentive and professional.
