Very quiet given cold Tuesday in jan
Food was fine although the steak ( 500g bavette ) was good quality but a little overdone for us ( more medium then medium rare and served on a cold plate
When pointed out to our very charming waitress she replaced with a warm plate
Would go back though maybe on a warmer day

last time had a female waitress who was lovely. This time was a male waiter who was pretty rude. My mate asked for some advice on portion size. A simple question just asking how big a certain dish was. The waiter acted as if he had just asked him to solve world peace. Refused to help my mate on how big the dishes were. Just overall not a nice bloke. Also only gave the table 3 menus when there was 4 of us.
