A beautiful setting with a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Loved the table layout. The crockery is absolutely amazing and the views all round very pretty indeed. The service here too can’t be faulted. Disappointingly though, the food, which was first and foremost what we came here for, was rather a letdown. The œuf parfait was sadly far from it. The star of the show so hidden beneath a sea of foam I couldn’t find it. In fact I’m not even sure there was an egg yolk there. On the other hand Mr H was served what appeared to be a superior version to mine and though it tasted better, overall this dish wasn’t all it was cracked up to be (no pun intended).
For mains I had the “Dos de lieu noir” served with black rice risotto. The fish was so so. All the better with a pinch of salt but the risotto was chalky and starchy and frankly I couldn’t eat more than a mouthful. Mr H chose well with the pork fillet mignon. I tasted it and WOW… that was seriously delicious. Some guys have all the luck!! Of the three course menu dessert (for me at least) was the best. A tidy version of an Eaton-Mess though far less tasty and probably some time down the future road, far less memorable.
The toilet however was really quirky and will definitely stick in my memory!!!
