I took a colleague to lunch to celebrate her birthday and so glad I chose the Fitz's Brasserie. The whole experience from being greeted, to having our coats taken, to being seated, to ordering, to eating and finally to paying (!) was very enjoyable and my friend was delighted and surprised by the birthday 'plate' which was a lovely touch. A big thank you and mention to our server (sorry I didn't take his name) who was friendly, professional, attentive and a total credit to the restaurant. I forgot to mention that the food was delicious as well...

Oysters were super fresh. Small plates: both the cured cornish mackerel and roasted mushrooms were not full of flavours (umami) and beautifully presented. The coley maincourse was exquisite - strong bold spinach colour against the crispy skin and perfectly cooked fish... really seafood at its best. (Seafood dishes are consistently good here). perfect creme brulee ... o, and lovely chablis and gervey chambertin. am thinking of coming back already. Flowers are beautiful ... just a little gem in the city. Would highly recommend.
