Mongoose Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Anyone been there? I stumbled across a reference to it by accident and realised that I pass by it every day without even noticing it. From the reviews etc I've found it seems to be fairly popular.. Thinking of making a reservation (do I need to anyone?) for a friend and me in a couple of weeks, any suggestions as to what to eat?

Gaikokujin Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Tell u something starve your self b fore u go Get loads off food even the free nibbles filled me up Very good tho I second that. I was "warned" in advance that I probably wouldn't need to bother ordering a starter and thank god I didn't - no sooner had we placed our order when an absolutely massive plate of complimentary chicken wings appeared on our table! Barely had enough room for my main course by the time it arrived which was itself a huge portion of food. It all tasted quite nice too, not the most amazing culinary experience I've ever had but certainly value for money. We did book in advance and although it wasn't too busy when we went as mentioned the place itself is pretty small so even with just a few people in there it can feel like a bit of a squeeze.

We did book in advance and although it wasn't too busy when we went as mentioned the place itself is pretty small so even with just a few people in there it can feel like a bit of a squeeze. On the culinary experience point, I'd say it's pretty flipping good! Admittedly, I have only been there once (we are returning shortly for our anniversary), but the fillet steak I ordered was one of, if not the best steak I've ever had, and I eat a lot of steak! I am looking forward to trying the Gibier de Bordelais, a fowl platter which contains 4 birds! We made the mistake of ordering starters last time, and although they were delicious, we just couldn't finish the mains. I eat an awful lot, but the amount of food you are given here is just incredible. There are a few quirks which may not be to everyone's taste, such as the assortment of ornamental frogs, but I have only read one bad review about the place, and that was by someone who had booked for a party of 20 (I'm surprised the place even has 20 seats!), so I think that is partly the fault of the reviewer. Space is the only other consideration, but although pokey, it does not significantly impinge on the experience. Gallic magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks like this place has shut down or is being refurbished - anyone know which? Owner has gone on holiday for a week or two. Still a thriving business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecircle Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Pleased to hear it - saw the scaffolding and lack of furniture inside + no sign in the window as to what was happening thought it had closed down. Business must be thriving not to let regular customers know whats happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayne67 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 We passed yesterday afternoon, and it looked like it was being refurbished. Clearly decorators were at work! Jayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
