We went on a Thursday night in the shoulder season. They have a typical French menu with four selections for both mains and starters. I see this as a good thing as it allows them to focus on high quality fresh ingredients. Everything except the bread, cheese and ice cream is made in-house.
We started with the tuna tartare and foie gras, both of which were fabulous. Both were suitable for sharing. My wife had the Burbot blanquette with clams and mussels. She loves seafood and accorded it top marks. I had the braised beef with root veg and this was flavourful. Both mains were well proportioned.
Most of the wines were by the bottle, but a couple of reds and whites were available by the glass. We each had a glass and were given a blind taste test. This might have been because the restaurant wasn't busy, but it was a nice touch.
The service was attentive without being overbearing and the hostess spoke much better English than I do French.

The wine and cocktail list was impressive and I had the Marius cocktail which was refreshing and neither over sweet nor overpowering. The food, which seemed largely inspired by Geoffreyâs experiences with his father, Marius, and his travels around the globe, was outstanding. From the tuna tartare starter to the seafood based mains, the taste, presentation, and originality were sublime.To top it all off, and even though we were full, we had the panna cotta and the Marius Cookie for dessert which were the perfect combination of sweet/savoury and hot/cold. Needless to say, we will definitely be back and we will recommend this place to all our family...
