First time visit with friends yesterday and this little gem exceeded all our expectations. If you are looking for a taste of French cuisine, this is the place. Every plate was delicious and plentiful. Staff very attentive. Will be back soon!

A great find. Quirky dining room with excellent and imaginative food, well cooked served and priced I don't want to recommend it too much in case I can't book another table.
