The menu is brief, but the dishes are a joy to look at and created with talent for presentation and great combinations of flavour and texture to offer a complex, but well balanced plate for each course. The wine advice is sound and very courteous. We were well attended, but not constantly checked upon, as were all the other diners we observed. The atmosphere is quiet, civilised, but not oppressively formal. Excellent choice and we would happily go again, when we are in the area.

Unlike some traditional French cooking this chef is light handed with creams and sauces but produces exceptional meals. Vegetables were beautifully handled as were the meats. Everything was in balance and oh! so beautiful in the tasting. The wait staff were good, the sommelier fantastic in matching the wines and obviously enjoyed his work. The whole experience over three nights was something to remember. We also enjoyed the fact that not every course was preceded by a detailed description of ingredients and how the dish was prepared. Most of us know how food is composed and cooked (some French language is a help). I think everyone should look for one Michelin star restaurants because they try really hard and are not caught up in too much of the traditional way of preparing food.
