    Enjoyed a wonderful early dinner after a concert. Ordered the prix fixe menu, me the French onion soup with the steak frites and the chocolate mousse my wife the tempura seafood, mussels and crème Brule. Everything was delicious and well prepared with sizable portions. he french onion soup was the best ive had in years and suggest you order it. What made the evening special was our server, Munish. He was friendly but not overly so. Hs suggestions were welcome and spot on. He was there when we needed him. A great waiter who made the evening special. Definitely will go back.

    My go to, tried and tested and never fails lunch/brunch place. Runs like a machine, staff is friendly and professional (I've never had a botched order), the menu is perfection and the unpretentious setting is cosy with rustic touches of wood and exposed brick. Never dissapoints. Will return over and over again with friends, out of town guests etc.
