    The bar downstairs was noisy, as one would expect on a Friday night. But the dining room upstairs was mostly quiet and relaxed. Service was fast and friendly. Food was good tasting, good quality, and reasonably priced.

    Carte simple avec des "classiques"; Pour les gros appétit, les portions sont modestes. Cuisine fraiche et gouteuse. Service rapide. Réservation recommandée.

    We had a really enjoyable meal here! The restaurant is very charming, the food was solid, and service was friendly. We had bangers and mash, Caesar salad, mushroom risotto and fish and chips and we each enjoyed our plates. We would return!
