Amazing flavor in meat and everything else. So well considered and the soup part of the French onion soup had a great depth of flavor. The steak was well seasoned the pepper sauce was gorgeous and the mash potato’s were so tasty, even the veg was not overcooked all in a superior meal. Great wine list. Sad the place was not packed it should be every night.
