Customer Review Summary
Steak night draws repeat diners, with several singling out the filet steak cooked to order and describing the set menu as good value, while others name the swordfish and mushroom risotto as standouts alongside a teriyaki beef starter. The atmosphere gets consistent praise, with reviewers noting a French bistro feel and a beautifully decorated dining room, and the front of house is repeatedly called friendly and helpful. One reviewer, however, reports a poor experience with a chicken dish they describe as soaked in pickle juice and heavily coated in cumin, and says the staff argued with their complaint; a separate reviewer also describes the food as frequently poor. Most reviewers still call the food excellent or fantastic, and several say they plan to return.

“After reading so many great reviews we decided to try this place for lunch. I was served a very poor quality piece of chicken and the bun was completely soaked through in pickle juice. Everything was very coated in cumin, so I couldn’t taste anything except cumin. When I told the staff I had not enjoyed the meal, they argued with me and made me feel like I was making a fuss about nothing. Such a beautifully decorated bistro, but I won’t be going back.”
