Review
I was eagerly anticipating a wonderful French meal due to all the reviews I had read. However, I was hugely disappointed. My companion got an order of the mussels et frites. The mussels, although plentiful, were very small and did not have the wonderful sweetness one associates with mussels. The frites, amounting to amount 10, were brought to the table in this very odd small oval shaped tin. We had asked for additional bread for sopping and the waiter brought over a small plate of pre-cut stale bread, not the amazing french bread I was expecting. It suggests to me that they cut corners. My dover sole, although prepared well, was accompanied by the smallest assortment of vegetables, again served in this small oval tin dish. I was very disappointed and would not recommend.
