    Beautiful bread starter followed by a large tasty fish in batter. The wine was superb. The service was also excellent. I usually only go the MY for Sunday lunch but would definitely return for the fish in batter again. My friend & I were very happy.😃

    I had one of the best roast dinners I have ever had. The beef was so tender and the Mille feille dessert was to die for! We will be back!

    Excellent food and Excellent service. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs. The meals are always fantastic and the presentation is beautiful, "art on a plate." We were there on a Thursday lunchtime. There was only one other couple dining and a few people in the bar area. So it was quite quiet.
