I enjoyed my cauliflower soup as much as the young ones enjoyed the snails; I think I liked the snails too :) . The short rib was so soft, it melted in my mouth. Service was lovely. Will definitely introduce this place to my Filipino friends. Thank you again.

Had a lovely birthday dinner: service was outstanding, food at the level expected, wine was great . Noise was due to a company of 5 that was very ' vividly ' enjoying their drinks . Out the restaurant's control really...

Thank you very much for your feedback , it is really appreciated. Next time you feel that someone's noise level is too high, please do not hesitate to ask one of the waiters to "calm" them down. Warmest regards, the team.

Somewhat disappointing experience. Booked because of one of the January offers, allowing customers to bring their own wine without corkage on the Prix Fixe menu on Wednesdays. There was absolutely recognition of this from the staff. The fixed price menu wasn’t even presented to us until we asked for it. The food was good although the service marred this by being disinterested and not engaged. The manager seemed to treat us as an inconvenience for choosing the offer. Wouldn’t repeat the experience.
Le VacherinResponded 5 days ago
Dear Sir, you booked through Opentable with a regular booking with no notes attached. Meaning you were presented with the a' la carte on arrival. I would like to add that at the top of the la carte menu a big message in golden letters states: "if you want the Prix fixe, please ask the waiter". You can take advantage of the offer even with the a' la carte menu, whilst with the Prix fixe you are "forced"to 3 courses)You forgot to mention that your booking was for 6 people and you showed up in 5: for the offer terms you can bring a bottle for every couple,that is why you were charged for the extra. I understand you didn't want to pay for corkage but you should have read the terms and conditions: to call Management indifferent and because you were not given a free corkage doesn't sound right.
