Lovely friendly waiting staff. The food was nice but unfortunately the whole lobster thermidor was disappointing, it was just a lobster with abit cheese & bread crumbs and the chef didn’t even bother to include the claw meat. Clearly a cheap effort to rip off the tourists.

I asked for medium rare fillet and received very well done. This is basic cooking so the chef needs to get it right.

Beautiful meals, lovely staff of ladies, very helpful, polite and courteous, wine was a bit expensive for a bottle of table wine...one of the desserts we ordered was inedible, Pain Perdu...was absolutely awful, soggy, raw egg mix, tasteless...very disappointing ! We were going to comment but when we went to pay a large group came in and had to have seating reservation changed due to one being on crutches...wouldn’t stop us coming back though...the other meals more than made up for it. The entrance walls need attention...look really tatty
