We ate sunday lunch there in early February. The restaurant was very quiet so we were a little surprised to receive a call fifteen minutes before our reservation time to seek confirmation. The decor is fine and the tables well set out. Service was very attentive though there were few diners. The manager was particularly courteous and charming.

I had crab croquettes as a starter, and it was hard to determine that the filling was crab. There was little flavour. The main course of lamb shoulder and ham with beans was a cassoulet style dish. There was good flavour but the over abundance of white beans made the dish rather too heavy and filing. Neither of the two of us who ate it were able to finish it.

The selection of ice creams had good texture, but again could have had more flavour.



So for service and ambiance it scores well, but flavours and lightness need to be addressed at this price level.
