Fresh blueberry tart in custard and whipped cream... divine! Coffee excellent too.... Prices more than reasonable... Unbelievable quality and perfection at a most...

The food was excellent. However, our main courses took almost an hour and a half to arrive! To make matters worse, at no point did the waitress come over to apologize or explain what the problem was. After well over an hour, we flagged her down and she said the food would be coming soon. Then we didn't see her again for 20 minutes. If there's a problem in the kitchen at least have the decency to come over and explain to your clients that there's going...
