    A lovely evening, the staff were very professional and swift and the food was excellent. We came in for dinner and had two steaks from the grill. They were delicious.

    It’s our third stay in the brasserie, the first stay 4 years ago was the best. Last night wines and food (duck) were poor. This was the last time for us.

    Been many times great spot for visiting the Theatre service always good as is the food but note prices have risen and with completion of equal quality but less pricey in the vicinity they might want to visit that.
