Service was attentive, but not particularly warm. Others at the bar and front of the restaurant had better service. Bartender clearly loves his job, so would recommend sitting there if you don’t want privacy. Regular tables are packed very tightly together. Food was fantastic - we had the scallops, lamb and potatoes. All were well presented and packed with flavour. We only needed a light meal as we’d been eating our way around the city, but if here for a full meal, I’d recommend 3 mains and a couple of sides for 2 people. Wine and cocktails are all reasonably priced.

It was a convenient place to meet (four of us) for a Christmas get together. Being in the city it was very busy at seven o’clock but emptied soon afterwards. It was a rather pleasant experience - not the best but not bad either. The ambiance is more one of a cafe rather than a restaurant. Unfortunately the venison was not available, a disappointment for me. The cocktails were good. Two of us had the cheese soufflé which was excellent and the other two has the mushroom tartine and the crab Bon-Bons. We continued with cod fillet, pork ribeye and chicken supreme. All of them very good.
