Very impressed with the high standard of food and service that was provided to us when we dinned here for dinner. For starters we had Foie Gras and Escargot, both dishes we thoroughly enjoyed. Highlight was the mains which we had Bourguignon and Flank Steak with Fries, the slow cooked beef cheek melted in the mouth and had so much taste.
Highly recommend if in the area and you enjoy French food.

We had the $89pp banquet and had an amazing dinner. The wagyu steak was amazing! Cooked and flavoured to perfection, it was definitely the highlight of the menu. We also loved the dessert and the cocktails that I ordered were deliciously indulgent.
Special thanks goes out to the wait staff for maintaining consistently high quality service, even when the restaurant filled up with patrons.
