    A lovely chilled experience for a special night out. We sat on the rooftop terrace as the weather was good. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We were looked after attentively and discreetly. We would highly recommend this lovely French restaurant.

    Delicious food and good atmosphere! Pleasant, modern interior decor. There was a slight mistake on the bill where my Picon Bière (listed as an aperitif on the menu) was over-charged as a separate beer and double shot of Picon, but this was quickly corrected. Expensive but a nice treat! Will definitely come again.

    Really nice restaurant. Food fantastic, good menu. Lovely ambience, if a little dark, we were at the back. However well lit everywhere else. Good wine selection. Well paced service. Would definitely recommend it if in or around Hexham.
