Went for a ‘casual business lunch’, atmosphere is nice, clientele ranges from business men to an Italian family celebrating an 18th birthday.
Food was great, had the entrecote on crushed potatoes, but I have to say that my 6 slices of ‘medium’ entrecote had at least 2 slices which were overdone and full of fatty tissue.
Another person on the table had a wheat intolerance and was told she should have the dish without the sauce. This would have been fine but the beef and potatoes without the sauce were very dry. I was disappointed that there were no suggestions from the waiting staff to serve something else with the dish, like a gravy without the flower.
Service was perfect otherwise with waiters remembering who orders which dish and regularly refilling water without making you feel you are being rushed through a lunch. Would definitely go back (but would ask for my beef to be done medium all the way!)
