When we arrived for my son's birthday we were greeted very nicely, we were given the menus and were informed of the specials.
When we ordered nothing was said, nothing about any of the courses not being available.
The lady returned to say that four of the dishes we ordered they didn't have, two were my son's order.
We then choose again to be then told two more choices were not available! We then asked her what was available, she went into the kitchen to check, we then ordered two more main courses, both fish with a sauce.
I ordered French onion soup, when this arrived it was more like onion gravy therefore I didn't eat it. Two other starters were not eaten. When the plates were cleared nothing was mentioned.
When the main course arrived the two fish dishes had a very thick cheese sauce over them instead of serving in a jug so you can use as much or little as you want. The fish was not cooked well and water was running out of it. Our son's steak should have been medium rare, it was grey and tasteless. We sent all three dishes back to the kitchen! We didn't order any other food, as there was not much left on the menu.
We were not charged for the two fish dishes but paid for everything else along with 50% of the steak.
Our table was booked for 7pm. We were very disappointed with the food. The best part were the complimentary garlic bread and chicken wings.
You shouldn't call yourselves a French restaurant when you can not cook French food.
We will never go back and definitely will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
