    We had such a wonderful evening at The French Table. The food was great, especially the desserts. All courses were well presented and not overly fussy. Huge credit also to the staff, who helped to make the evening even more special. From the communication a few days before the meal, to the staff in the evening, they all enhanced our experience. Big thanks to Zoe and Christophe especially.

    Wonderful meal. The food was excellent, service outstanding - knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, efficient. Lovely ambience, we did have a very noisy table near us, although I have to say the tables were well spaced, they were just extremely noisy. Would recommend highly, it’s not cheap but you do get value for your money so worth well it and we will be back!

    We hadn’t been to this fantastic local French restaurant for a while and we weren’t disappointed. The food was as good , if not better than our last visit, and the staff were on the ball. Can’t wait to get back.
