Hands down the best dinner out in years. Amazing service, great drinks, delicious food. The filet is to die for, chicken pesto goat cheese salad was great, risotto yum. Desserts too! Perfect!

Great selection of beers and wines. The tables by the window are nice. Overall, the food is good and it's a very relaxed type of environment.

Salmon in Thai Curry Sauce was one of my favourite salmon dishes ever. What a great find on our first visit to the UK. Perfect choice.

The ahi is the best I've ever had! The veggie soup is also great. As far as the pizzas, the BBQ chicken one was good.

The food is great ... Tiger prawn pizza with the sea food salad was perfect to share ... My friend had a filet and he said it was one of the best he's ever had.

Bacon wrapped tiger shrimp... Yum. Dessert? Chocolate pecan pie hits the spot. Wonderful "French" atmosphere.

The meats are great in here! Follow the waiters advertise about the meat. No need for well done in here!

Food is fine and solid even if the menu and style is stuck in the 90’s. Big menu with lots of choices, but the service can be off.

Flat iron steak, fresh pasta with tiger shrimp prawns, creme brulee. Yum.
