Delicious set lunch (£44 for three courses but extra for vegetables - a ridiculous £12 for mashed potatoes - an additional table charge and service bumps up the bill). The service was good but one water glass (out of four) came with a fly in it! The dining room is elegant but there was no dress code (at least none enforced) and it was a bit cold. Overall, I would recommend - especially the consomme and duck ravioli starter which was outstanding!

Delightful, small French restaurant. Staff very attentive. Food - rabbit bonbons starter was delicious, quite filling. My companion, who likes his meat gave the steak a thumbs up. The duck, served with green beans and mash. was flavoursome and tender. The bottle of red from Languedoc was good. I look forward to going there again.
