We usually go to the French Table for family celebrations and last night it was my birthday. We were given complimentary Champagne which was a lovely touch and we had the tasting menu with accompanying wines. Everything about the food was superb and the service flawless. The choice of wines was impeccable, Sarah knows her stuff! We live in the area and have been going to the French Table for about 20 years, how they manage to keep up their standards over such a period amazes me but demonstrates their commitment to fine dining. It's an absolute gem of a restaurant and a local institution.
