Excellent meal and wines, it always is there, one of the best bistros to eat in for miles around. The desserts are to die for

Food was very good but long delay between starter and main. Service not great, couldn't understand why the young waitress turned away potential customers at 8.30 who hadn't booked in advance when the restaurant wasn't full and no one arrived afterwards.

Good service and excellent food, well-cooked and prepared. Nice clean environment with plenty of space between tables. Faulty main door resulted in cold draft constantly filling the area but I am sure this will be fixed. An excellent experience.

A great evening. Lovely food, and friendly service. Only slight negative is that menu is very limited for non- meat eaters. Two of the fish dishes I might have tried had bacon in them as well, which meant they weren’t an option, but the pollock I had was very tasty. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent food and service. Just perfect. Food is very high quality and excellent value for money - you leave feeling well nourished. Highly recommended. Varied menu and, with notice, as everything is freshly prepared, all types of dietary requirements can be accommodated.

Service good. Generous portions. More green vegetables and fish mains would have been welcomed as would a specials board. Black Forest Gateaux - Far too much chocolate and no sponge, but enjoyed the sorbet and cherries which accompanied it. Poor choice of cheeses.

When we arrived I thought the restaurants decor looked rather bare, the table and chairs looked quite simple/basic. The staff were welcoming and friendly and quickly took our drinks order. We were a party of 4 and nobody had eaten here before. We all ordered something different to each other and the food was AMAZING! I cannot wait to go back, stunning food.....!

For whatever reason the service was rather slow, which is why we decided not to have desert, sadly. Impressed with presentation of our meals. Will give it another go to be fair

We thought the food was excellent and superb value with their midweek offer. Almost rated a 6 but thought perhaps service could have been a little quicker. Will certainly go back though.

The food is consistently fab, fish is always cooked to perfection. I had a very tasty pork loin dish from the new summer menu and both the desserts I tasted were spot on too, a pannacotta with a ginger ice cream and a deconstructed Eton mess. Service was also very good and the offers for two or three courses make it excellent value for money.

The Restaurant is clean and well decorated. This was our 10th visit and we rate it as one of the best two restaurants in Urmston. The food is always interesting, of good quality, and nicely presented. We went as a party of four and our two guests were impressed with the overall ambiance and food.
