We ordered a $90 bottle of wine and we had to ask 3 times for our glasses to be refilled (after they were empty for 15 minutes). The Octopus on the specials menu was overcooked and chewy, we sent it back to the kitchen-we appreciate not being charged for this. The service was slow, my main The Rockling was overcooked and lacked flavour, so disappointed to be honest, sorry Bistro Gitan but you'll have to try a little harder- very sad. We won't be back for a while until you pick up your game....

It's professional and friendly and on a cold night, the open fire and bar area is a warm ambience.

Anyways, order the piccata of chicken livers. I am convinced the only reason this restaurant is still open, is because of the piccata of chicken livers. It’s the best dish and the only reason I would ever come back. Did I mention how great the chicken livers were? Servers are very attentive, I left to go to the bathroom and they refolded my napkin lolololol. P.S get the piccata of chicken livers.
