Absolutely stunning food, service, and overall experience as usual! Sunday roast is a must have and the banana bread dessert is without a shadow of a doubt the best thing I have ever eaten, literally brought a tear to my dates eyes (Happy tears!), would highly recommend, 10/10!!!

Second visit in 2 months both times, good service, excellent food and reasonably priced. Only criticism I would have is the starters are slightly on the large side, make them smaller reduce price by a little and you would sell more desserts.

I have been at the Bistro several times and have usually enjoyed it. It was my friends first visit. We felt the menu choice was quite limited and struggled to pick something. When the food arrived sadly my friends vegetables were stone cold so had to be replaced. Overall disappointed with our night.

Not that the food was bad but my lasting memory would be the ambience and the excellent friendly service. The service in particular was good as people always had time for you and explained the menu ,guided you with both food and drink. The restaurant is fairly small but that adds to the ambience. The food was very good with an excellent selection and well priced.
