    We had a table on the balcony, overlooking the Promenade and river. It was so beautiful. We shared dips, fritters and the amazing fries with fetta and oregano, and it was more than enough for two. We had wine and great food and made it to our 2pm theatre booking in good time. Had the nest time!

    The service from start to finish was on point. Every contact we had from being seated to waited upon all evening was top notch! The food ... delicious. Shared oysters for a starter. Steak was prepared exactly how we asked for it. The cod was perfectly cooked. Carrots & chips for sides. We did get carried away with ordering but loved trying it all. If you can fit it in the tarte de tan is a must - we couldn't of course but got a take home to enjoy today! Definitely a restaurant we will be coming g back to and bringing out friends. Oh...also got a special "happy birthday" plate of truffles. Lovely touch :)
