Thought it'll be a nice pre-Christmas & pre-Paris meal. Tried the festive menu. Starter & Main OK. But the main was a little short in veg. Server had not advised us that we would need to order extra but as we ordered their main signature dish, we'd thought it would cover everything. Dessert was disappointing... very sickly sweet despite trying to drown it in cream.
