We had a great couples meal at Petit. Food was delicious ( we had scallops, croquettes, beef bourguignon and fish and definitely try the creme brulee) and service was good on a busy night. Good wine list with enough choice but a little on the pricey side in some cases. We sat inside on a chilly night and it is cosy. We will be back

Cozy and friendly little bar in the city with excellent burgers and delicious cocktails. Great for an intimate night out with friends. Owner is so accommodating. Have hosted many casual events here and always get great feedback. Free sweet tea at the bar is an unexpected (and yummy) bonus. Highly recommend!
