Superb French food, and fantastic service from the predominantly French staff who really understand their role – professional, helpful, and yet unobtrusive. I’ve eaten there about four times, and it’s been consistently excellent from the complex dishes (wonderful snapper with a lime beurre blanc sauce) to the comparatively simple (french fries). Pricey; but worth every cent. recommended, as it’s one of Wellington’s best.

Really enjoyed this restaurant – went with my family of 4 for my dad’s birthday. The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable (there weren’t many diners, so we practically had the waiter to ourselves – he was very attentive, professional and knowledgable about the menu and wine list), and the restaurant ambience was very nice. We passed over 4 hours here and didn’t even notice the time.
I really loved the way the desserts were served – each dessert came out in three servings, so we were able to taste each other’s desserts (and all were very very good).
Also is in the entertainment book so, all up, a very positive experience.
