6/10We were looking forward to trying this restaurant as the reviews all seemed good. unfortunately our experience wasn't. The decor is very nice and it was lovely to have back ground music but it was chilly. The stuffed jalapeño starters were promising but the main courses left a lot to be desired. The burger was nothing like the pictures online and consisted solely of a burger with cheese in a bun accompanied by a handful of chips! The bitoque was a very small thin steak with egg again with a handful of fries, salad was a few green leaves and one half of a cherry tomato. The reviews online said generous portions and sadly that was not our experience we all left hungry . We were all so disappointed we didn't even want to try any of the desserts, preferring to wait until we got home. Even the coffees were sub standard as they were lukewarm. These points were raised with the waiter who apologised, saying they were training a new chef....not well enough.We were a party of 6 but won't return

10/10Every time we dine at the bistro, the food and the service are impeccable. My husband can get his favorite chicken parmigiana and I love the pumpkin risotto. Absolutely perfect!

10/10We had a lovely late afternoon meal with wonderful service for the four of us. A wide assortment of dishes from Lasagna to Codfish "Crumble" which was a table favorite. The Foil Chicken and Risotto dishes were also delightful. The staff made great recommendtions and were attentive without being obtrusive as we caught up with each other's lives at the table. A great Saturday brunch experience for us.
