    The food was better than I've ever experienced. Expertly prepared and pleasingly presented. The staff did not come to collect the plates just as soon as one was emptied and service was excellent.

    The salad nicoise was terrible. Over cooked tuna and old lettuce I have had it before and it was good. This was terrible
