"This is a great restaurant if you like the ambiance of an old world class cruise liner, one feels most relaxed in the sumptious grace that this establishment affords. The staff were very professional - I think my waiter was Hungarian and had a very good sense of humour and decorum (I only had to give a quick wink in his direction and he was in attendance).
My starter - shrimps a la saffron - was exquisite, if a little light in weight and was followed for me by the 'cheval fricassee avec mignons' - cooked to utter perfection, I have to say.
For dessert I plumped for a very good selection of mould cheeses, while my wife went for the vanilla flambe, a most breathtaking dish, that startled the palate (I had a little taste) while leaving one's tastebuds intact. A whimsical little brandy followed, so good I had to have one or two more before leaving.
All in all my wife and I had a wonderful meal, our only disappointment arriving when a piece of toilet paper that had been left in the ladies lavatory managed to attach itself to my wife's shoe. This was quickly resolved though, as the eagle-eyed maitre d' gracefully removed it without too many guests noticing and these things can strike even in the most impressive of eateries.
A little expensive, but well worth a visit, particularly with female company. You might not be allowed in without a proper jacket."
