   Excellent food and service. It's like going to a different speciality restaurant on every visit.

   We attended the Asian banquet evening as a party of 3. The staff and students were welcoming and friendly. The food was tasty and well presented as always. I’m vegetarian and my dietary needs were catered for. I especially liked the puddings which were a trio of mini puddings. The cocktails went down well. Place was very clean. Would highly recommend

   Absolutely wonderful. Waitress was extremely good - polite and helpful. Coped very well when asked for a more complicated drink order (asking for what flavours you had in Gin). Food was delicious - extremely high standard of cuisine! Looked beautiful too. Really impressed. Loved the French music and atmosphere/decorations - a really lovely touch. The teacher was great supporting his waiting staff well but discretely :) The tiny macaroons were the cutest and loveliest burst of sweetness to end the evening! Thank you - will definitely book again.

   Service very slow to the point you had to go to the bar yourself after first drink. Meal was luke warm. Main meal fish was dried up overcooked like cardboard, chicken chasseur was like a mush no resemblance of chicken. Creme brullee was tiny. Evening was overpriced and would never recommend.

   Extremely enjoyable French-themed evening. Excellent ambiance. Delicious mussels, very good chicken chasseur and fillet of sole. The crêpes were not as one would expect in a French restaurant, but delicious nonetheless. Generally attentive waiting staff. Excellent experience, so booked for the upcoming Spanish evening.
