the food is really good, but you’ll wait ages for it. Our waiter was nice enough but presumably spread too thin because we didn’t see him often. When we were like 40 mins into waiting for mains he came up and asked if we were waiting for mains.. not sure what else we would be doing there for that long haha. One of our party got the fish which was listed as coming with potato millefeuille, but it came out with chips - they were nice enough chips, and at that point we’d been waiting ages so we weren’t going to kick up a fuss about it but we were surprised nobody mentioned there’d be a replacement when it was ordered.
