They managed to find a table for us but said we had to be out by 7pm. Thought this would be plenty of time having arrived at 5.40pm. They were prompt at taking our order but it stopped there. Our starter, which we were sharing, came out at 6.25pm. They didn t notice until about 6.15pm that we were still waiting as it was difficult to get someone s attention. The manager did apologise and took it off the final bill. The mains arrived and while the duck dish I had was good it was cold at the ends and the potato was luke warm - clearly they had cooked the main before our starter and had left it on the serving area while we ate our missing starter. The minute steak was cooked ok but not the best quality of meat. The dessert of tarte un pomme was disappointing as the pasty was far from flaky and a bit on the stodgy side. While we were there, three tables complained about their meal so it wasn t just us that thought the quality of the cooking for the price was not up to standard. Not likely to visit again until I see reviews that indicate an improvement in the cooking.
