We were greeted warmly and asked if we needed to leave by a certain time. The staff who served us were friendly and helpful. The food was very good. We enjoyed starters, mains and shared a dessert. All were delicious. Would definitely come again.

Absolutely delicious. We went for the three course tea time menu which gave us lots of choice and was remarkable value, we even added a bottle of Prosecco by way of celebration. We left feeling very happy and full and have promised that we will return soon.

Always wanted to try this place. Nice atmosphere, lots of candles. Intimate. Very quirky. Good menu lots of fishy things and more on a chalk board you had to get up and read. Very Parisian style classic French food. I had coquille St Jacques and lamb rump. My boyfriend had mussels and lamb hock. Mussels had lots of thyme in the sauce which is unusual and some were not fully open. Lamb was nice but mash plonked in a mini pan thick and tasteless. Had a nice bottle of Pinot Noir to wash it all down
