Some of the positives about the restaurant - lights are dimmed and tables are offered some privacy with blinders separating tables. Chairs had nice high seatbacks and they had extra chairs at the table for coats, bags etc. However, the tables by the windows are not as private. The one we were given was actually between two windows so we got none of the benefits of the windows and less privacy to boot. The table across from us also had a couple of very loud American customers which made the di
Food - ordered the fois gras to start and probably their best dish of the night. Slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a nice sauce. The soup was a lobster soup with generous chunks of lobster. Not too hot so one can eat when arriving at table.
The mains were a rib eye steak and the cod risotto. My steak was done well but alittle on the fatty side. There were some potatoes and veggies on the side. About 8oz so good enough for me but may not be enough for big eaters. My partner's cod rissotto was received less favourably. She wished they had also given her some veggies on the side. Service was prompt and water filled at the table wthout us asking.
Now for some of the negatives - final iced tea was slow to come, but the tea itself was quite tasty. They should give more syrup though. There was no signage on the ground floor so there was some uncertainty that we got the right place.
Price was generally OK for what you get. We would definitely go back again. Next time we may even try the desserts.
