Went for our anniversary on the 27th of December and were very impressed. Amazing flavours, great service, fantastic atmosphere and not as expensive as one would think. Definitely good value for money.

The upmarket restaurant was a huge dissapointment. It was my husbands birthday and I decided to spoil him. The menu selection was incredibly limited and the food very ordinary. Portions were small and very expensive.

Loved the food, especially having read about the chefs in "32 Inspirational Chefs." So with high anticipation went to eat. And indeed, the food was superb but I have had better service in a Macdonald's hamburger joint than here. We had drinks outside and it took forever for them to arrive, the waiter failed to notice the very obvious dirty... More

Our second visit to this most memorable of restaurants did not disappoint. What a privilege to be able to eat this incredible meal. My husband has travelled to some incredible places this year, and rates this his best meal to date. The Kabelou carpaccio starter, the cob main course and the Grand Marnier souffle dessert are particular highlights. Perfect service,... More
