    So disappointing. Rude hostess - terrible table next to serving station with a pillar in the middle of a round table so we could hardly see each other. Toilets is poor condition, smelt and no toilet paper etc!

    Excellent escargots, marvellous mussels & superb service. Wasn’t quite so keen on the creme brûlée tart, more pastry than creme!

    Over priced not what it used to be!! We used to love Baltizars but it’s changed over the years. The menu has changed many of our favorites are gone. Don’t believe will be returning!!

    Lovely pre theatre meal. Food very well prepared and presented with great balance of flavours and excellent cooked seafood. Highly attentive service despite minor delay with drinks. A very enjoyable meal overall.
