When you're paying $100 up per person you'd expect to spend time at least a couple of hours. Garlic prawns came without even a slice of bread. Service rushed and seemed the waiter never heard what we said. Had to repeat and confirm to get correct orders. Overall experience below average. Last time I've been there.

This cozy little restaurant is a unique neighbourhood gem. Had a group dinner here on a Wednesday night. Great service and amazing good. The wagyu rump was divine! Creme caramel was also amazing! Souks definitely go back to revisit. All in all great dining experience ????

I did not leave this restaurant feeling as though I had been to a French restaurant. It felt like an imitation French restaurant where they had tried their best to impersonate French cuisine. It wasn't bad but it is not a place I will return to in a hurry.

Great atmosphere and service! A very homely looking restaurant. The snails were very generously buttered and the duck with orange sauce was very good too. read more Great atmosphere and service!

We had a party of and my mother had purchased a Groupon deal which covered for all of us. They stated in the terms and conditions I believe that people cannot sit all together. Which was quite annoying however since we agreed to those conditions we let it be. The of us were told to be seated inside and of us outside. Because it was slightly cold outside we asked to get moved in, not sitting together being fine. However, the owner let out a big sigh and got frustrated; repeating we cannot be seated inside because we can’t sit together?? And that there were no tables. And we never asked to be seated together. I was so put off by how she was treating my mother and ruining the whole first impression of this restaurant I came forward and said that it was fine wherever we sit, just anywhere inside because it was cold and we had children with us. She then looks around half heartedly and demands her waiters to make a seat of and tells us to move away for the other customers. Then MUTTERS “Never ever do this again PLEASE”. ARE YOU SERIOUS. We simply asked to be seated inside where there were PLENTY of seats. And agreed upon anywhere inside (we ended up getting seated right near the door, which is fine). But to tell your paying customers that we shouldn’t be asking to for a slight seat change when there’s clearly seats?!? I can firmly say that my family will never be visiting here again. Our family was extremely offended at the horrible way that you treated us. The food was extremely mediocre either way. The service was quite poor, I believe there were a lot of new waiters which is fine. However, if they make a mistake, take them away from our tables and notify them. Do not do It right next to our table. If the treatment we received is based of us having purchased Groupon for a large group of people then you have poorly made the judgment and decision of doing business with Groupon. Stay clear from this restaurant.
