Thought would give this place another chance after disastrous service last year. Been here four times now, food is excellent BUT service definitely leans preferably towards the locals. We watched four tables of local French people arrive anything up to over an hour after us get their food 1/2hr before us?!

Had a dinner there with friends, the food was good and the portions were huge. Atmosphere was fine but the service was very slow and although we were not in any real hurry, it become quite a pain having to chase up the staff.
