    This amazing restaurant is first class in every respect. The staff are lovely and the service is sensitive and attentive. The food - from the first taste of the delicious breads through to each of the inventive and exciting courses as well as the fantastic cheeseboard (highly recommended for all cheese lovers out there!) - is exceptional. We've eaten there many times on birthdays and special occasions over the last few years and each time it is a true delight! I can't wait to go back!

    Lovely. We had the tasting menu with smaller portions which helps me really savour each part of each dish. There were quite a few things, Id never eat normally (e.g. poached oyster) so I was kept curious and interested in the food. I tasted the wines as well which were varied and carefully selected to compliment each course. The service was polite, attentive and friendly, as it always has been when we visited the French Table.

    Great, friendly service. Been to the restaurant before and never felt disappointed but last night the food was terrific. Especially enjoyed the rhubarb dessert but everything was good. I would also commend the restaurant for having a wine list which includes a good selection of lower priced quality options. This is becoming increasingly rare in other establishments.
