    The Bistro never fails to deliver-excellent cocktails;an imaginative menu and the best service anywhere. Scallops; mussels;chicken and mushroom sausage and risotto were all delicious and the chocolate and chambord brownie was outstanding. Thanks to the wonderful Caitlin,Callum and the rest of the team for a delightful evening.

    Visited for my birthday with my partner and everything was perfect! We had the mussel and pasta deal even without the deal I would genuinely say the bistro serve the best mussels in town! We love going and as always we will be back again!

    This was our first visit, very disappointing overall. Service was very poor, not one person asked us if our food was ok. Waited over an hour for our main course, we asked for dessert menu and we are still waiting to placing the order. Food disappointing also.

    This was our first time visiting the Bistro and we both thoroughly recommend it. Our meals were perfect, service was very good and it was a very pleasant experience.

    A most outstanding meal and excellent value. Probably the best mussels I have ever had and a main course to match. Excellent wine selection. Very friendly attentive staff. A must visit.

    Excellent, nice place, organised time well. Needs more than one 5 seater. Nice bar stools at window which i think should be used more. Always good food, nice service. Be good to see menu changing more often

    Sunday was the first time two friends and I had lunch at The Bistro. The food was excellent: mussels for starter followed by daube of beef. The staff were very pleasant, attentive, and helpful. ‘Will definitely go back.

    Food was tasty and nicely presented. The staff were friendly and efficient. Only downside is that the booth seating is a bit cramped ie not much foot room and not much body space between table and seat. Would come back again but would chose the tables with the proper chairs.
