    We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The French Table! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, setting the tone for an exceptional lunch. The food was delicately prepared and bursting with flavor—every dish was cooked to perfection, and we truly couldn’t ask for more. It was a special occasion—my wife’s birthday—and the team made it even more memorable with their impeccable service and attention to detail. She was beyond happy and completely satisfied with the meal, making it a perfect celebration. If you're looking for elegant, high-quality dining with outstanding hospitality, The French Table is the place to go. Highly recommended!

    We have been here a number of times - the food never ceases to impress - always consistently very good. The staff are excellent and attentive without being intrusive. This time I dropped one star for the food - we had the tasting menu which was mostly excellent but the first and second courses, from the list, were both very rich and (for us) needed to be spaced out rather than consecutive.

    As ever TFT is a fantastic experience for both a casual lunch or special occasion. We are regular visitors and took friends for the first time. They were suitably impressed. We had the lunch tasting menu with wine flight. Beautiful food and lovely wine. Staff professional and knowledgeable as ever. Outstanding produce and beautiful sauces, etc.

    Enjoyed the Classics menu (set menu of dishes from previous years that changes fortnightly) with paired wines. We sat upstairs which was quieter than the buzzy downstairs vibe. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, pacing the courses well. The little birthday touches completed the occasion.

    This was a less than satisfactory visit, food was good as was the wine/drinks but there were some flaws which needed addressing. I have written directly to the restaurant
