Okay where to start. The food was good, not the best.. the portions were quite small, the fish soup tasted like too much cream was added, couldve done good with some sherry or tabasco in the recipe, I had a steak which was quite small. My girlfriend had the duck, the menu states it is a duck breast but it was a small leg with some mash, a bit dry and overcooked. Flavour was good but not what we expected. We also asked the chef if it was possible for a off the menu dessert(a crepe suzette) which any french chef should be able to do. They came as two crepes that were sprinkled with grand marnier, not a drop of orange juice or sugar, they then later charged us for two chocolate crepes and a 8€ portion of grand marnier(so each crepe totalled at 16€ for one person) very cheeky in my opinion. We also found 2 brown hairs within the crepe batter and the waiter tried to pin it on us, yet we were a table with girls with long blonde hair and me who had short dark hair. We didnt make a fuss about it, but we will not be coming back. The place has potential but the customer service was horrendous. All this totalled at 330€.

Plenty of potential to be good. Margarine rather than butter for the first bit of food and downhill after that. Famous fish pie mostly potatoe and a few prawns. Won't be returning Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
