    Extremely disappointed when we arrived for our confirmed booking at 330 table wasn't ready which is never an issue but when other people arrive after with no booking and are seated immediately that's an issue. After 15mins we were seated to a very disappointing set menu needless to say we left. Overall poor and would not be recommending

    I go to cafe en seine every few months for drinks, dinner or lunch. I especially liked the Sunday lunch with the jazz band playing at 2pm. Last Sunday was a big disappointment. The lunch menu had been replaced by a 'brunch' menu , lunch is now only served on week days I was told. The menu had very few items, fish and chips ,burger and chips ,pasta or a 'Christmas toastie' I had the toastie ,it was poor. Processed turkey and ham slices and a horrible white stuffing with cranberry sauce on two pieces of bread. A friend I knew at another table had sent hers back as she said it made her feel sick. My partner had the smashed burger which was mediocre at best A spicy margarita cocktail tasted of about half a jar of chilli powder and was impossible to drink . A nice waiter agreed to exchange it for a classic margarita at no charge. The band didn't play until 3.30pm so our lunch was almost finished and didn't feel staying longer.

    My friends and I visited for Christmas brunch. The food was delicious and service was excellent. Some of us had the eggs royale and asked for the salmon to be swapped for avocado. The server happily obliged. The other girls had Christmas toasties. The atmosphere was relaxed and festive.
