    The meal was very nice and the service was good, however, and I accept that waitresses are there to see more, but we were told that the side orders were only small and not enough for two persons and we there ordered a second one. When they arrived this was not the case and one would have been enough, and we therefore left half of each, my question is, why lie to us?
    Brasserie JoelResponded on October 14, 2024

    Not actually French food but …. Watch out for bread with your meal. They charged 4.5 pounds but when I spoke to manager she removed the charge. Baked Camembert was small but tasty. Onion soup was great.

    It was my daughter’s graduation and the meal was a perfect way to end the day. Our waitress was absolutely first class - couldn’t do enough for us.

    This was an overall exceptional experience. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary, and everything from the atmosphere, the service, and the food were all outstanding. We were treated well, had a long and delicious dinner, and I don't know how much lore praise I can give. Overall, it was the perfect highlight to our anniversary.

    Great service and choice of menu. They do a group (8) set menu which was good value just a shame it wasn’t an option for all diners.
